I use libjpeg 6a as well. I've never seen this particular bug report 
before. It's possible that when you installed the latest version, you 
didn't delete all the files from the previous version - I've been bitten 
by this one a number of times.

Gzilla is still in early-alpha, so I haven't been encouraging people to 
build prepackaged distributions. There is one available for RedHat in the 
contrib section of RedHat's website, though.

Try deleting all of the libjpeg files, then installing the new libjpeg 
with a prefix of /usr/local. Good luck!
