Sounds like a good hint. As I don't currently have the Linux build
complete, I must make guesses as to where to look. It could possibly by the
'_write_png' function that is set by the 'png_set_write_fn' which overwrites
the libPNG stdout function. Perhaps this is the problem. A quick fix may
be to reset the write function prior to releasing it?
Hopefully, I'll complete and Linux build one day and investigate.
Cheers!
