gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple problem when scaling to large sizes

[Andy Hochhaus <amhochhaus yahoo com>]

I am new to gtk+ and I am having a problem with
gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple(). I can successfully scale a
pixbuf from file (calcpic_pixbuf) to a small size (say
100x200 pixels). However, when I scale this pixbuf to
a large size (one with more than 63900 pixels) my
pixbuf simply disappears. I have included my code
below. I think my problem is with in my
"configure_event()" function.

If you need any more information please let me know.

Thanks,
Andy
