on the other hand, i was able to view it fine on my plan 9 box (with
128MB of memory).

viewing large images on plan9 is difficult due to the restriction that
image memory is kernel memory, and thus can't be paged.

before he left, chris locke did quite a nice image viewer under
inferno that allowed viewing of arbitrarily large images (a 22MB jpg
aerial view of baghdad was one example); unfortunately it was never
completely finished.
