Unopenable image

GIMP 2.6 on Mac OS X seems to be unable to open photos taken on a Nokia N900. When I try to open one (e.g. this one [1.3MB download]), GIMP hangs and a ufraw-gimp process starts consuming all my CPU until I kill it. This isn't just me being impatient — I let it sit there for over five minutes and it never managed to open it.

Has anyone else seen anything like this?

Yep, opens in Preview no problem, also in various web browsers.

Have you tried opening it in Preview, saving it with a different file extension, and then opening it in the Gimp?

I hadn't, but I have now — converting it to a PNG seems to have done the trick, thanks!
