Thanks Michael.  The affected image formats are ANI, BMP, ICNS, ICO,
PNM, QTIF, TGA, XBM, and XPM.  Two classes of applications are
affected:

- Applications that use gdk-pixbuf for displaying UI elements in older
formats, e.g. GKrellM and XSane both use XPMs and are both crashing in
F41 right now.
- Applications that use gdk-pixbuf for displaying user-supplied
images, e.g. Eye of GNOME, Nautilus, and OpenSlide.  These don't
crash, but currently can't load the affected formats in F41.

gdk-pixbuf upstream is discussing splitting these loaders out into a
separate project.  Once the plan firms up, I'll package the new
project for F41.
