Try opening the corrupt image file in POV-Ray using the following code,
replacing "garden.png" with the name of your image file to see if LibPNG can
handle the image.  It may be that ACDSee's implimentation of the PNG
standard is at fault, in which case POV-Ray should be able to open the image
correctly, or it may be that ACDSee, like many other programs including
POV-Ray, is having trouble with an image with a width or height of zero.
