[TypeError: Corrupt JPG, exceeded buffer limits]

Trying to calculate the following image throws an exception:

var imagesize = require("image-size");
var url = "http://www.niemanlab.org/images/renewalinvoice.jpg";
var needle = require('needle');

var stream = needle.get(url);
stream.on('readable', function( ) {
    var chunk;
    while( chunk = this.read() ) {
        info = imagesize(chunk);
        if( info ) {
            stream.end();
            console.log('streaming picture', info);
        }
    }
});
stream.on('end', function(){
    console.log('Stream ended');
});

FYI I had this error as well, but I found out it was because the images I was using were saved as CMYK file type instead of RGB. Once I changed the images to RGB the script worked.
