This PNG file has been re-created, and the bug identified, the attached patch fixes this bug but changes PNG loader behaviour slightly, IMHO this change is for the better but I'm willing to listen to anyone for whom it has a detrimental effect. While I was there I also added proper error handling; truncated or corrupt PNGs are still fatal, but there is now an appropriate message and partially-loaded images are preserved. Please apply this patch to CVS Gimp. There will probably be more patches from me for image loaders over the next few weeks - so if you have images that don't yet load in Gimp let me know. Nick.
