We used to get crashes loading JPEGs when using an optimized MSVC
build of Emacs. I can't see that error message in Emacs, so maybe the
author of the jpeg library has added detection of the problem. As I
suspected, the alignment of struct members is probably affected by an
optimization option, though I wonder why this is not a major problem
for users of MSVC when using external libraries.
