Image is failing to read because IDAT: chunk data is too large

See original GitHub issue

I have written a descriptive issue title
I have verified that I am using the latest version of ImageMagick
I have searched open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported

Description

I try and read the image below and i get an “because IDAT: chunk data is too large” error message:

testimage

Earlier version (v7.0.6.102 specifically) of ImageMagick worked fine, I upgraded to v7.07 and now it doesn’t.

The image opens in all image editors fine.

If I open the image in paint.net and save it back out in same format and using Auto-Depth settings, the size reduces from 65kb to 4kb and ImageMagick then has no problems reading it.

Steps to Reproduce

var readSettings = new MagickReadSettings();
readSettings.Format = MagickFormat.Png;

using( var downloadStream = new FileStream( "TestImage.png", FileMode.Open ) )
using( var resizedImageStream = new MemoryStream() )
using( var image = new MagickImage( downloadStream, readSettings ) )  // exception thrown here
{
    image.Strip();                // Strip out all profile info...
    image.Quality = 100;

    image.Write( resizedImageStream, readSettings.Format );
    resizedImageStream.Position = 0;

    // we do something with the memory stream....
}
