I can display it with no trouble at all.

Did you update your libpng lately?  In that case, perhaps that is the
reason for this bug (and also for the one with displaying PDF?) -- it
could be that Emacs has some problems with this new version of libpng.

Did you rebuild Emacs after updating libpng (if indeed you did update
it)?  If not, please be sure to download and install the dev package
(header files and dependency libraries, if any) of the libpng shared
library you now have, and rebuild Emacs after installing them.

Yes, that happened after building Emacs. In the meantime I did not
change system libraries, and I remember watching that PNG before this
latest build.

You can customize 'max-image-size'.

PS: Maybe we should emit a warning when an image can't be
displayed due to this limitation.

Good idea.  But do we know that the failure is due to memory?

When I set `max-image-size' to nil, then I can see that image.

As user I am not aware of that variable. If Emacs can't show the
image, then it should tell me why, for example, that it can't show
images because of `max-image-size' being set too little, and it should
also tell me to what should I set it to display that image.

Default was 10.0 which did not work.

That value didn't change since Emacs 24.  So if a build from few days
ago did work with that PNG file, then something other than Emacs has
changed on your system.

Since the default is a ratio, it also depends on the frame layout.

Yes, if that has changed in Jean's configuration lately, it could also
be the reason.
