Hello,

Recently I had a issue with jpg texture files with Performer for
Windows. Both 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 reacted in the same way.

Disclaimer : jpg textures are a bad idea as Mr Baker has said before and
here http://www.sjbaker.org/steve/omniv/jpegs_are_evil_too.html

The problem is when loading a pfa file which refers to a jpg file with
perfly, perfly complains :

PF Notice: pfdLoadFile_pfa: Loading "flint.pfa"
iopen: bad magic in image file 77e91856

The file is flint.pfa ( which is pfconv'ed from flint.sv ) and the
texture file is jpg'ed from marble.rgb. Both files are available here.

The second appereance of the problem is when a pfTexture is created for
use in a pfdBuilder.
