Question regarding cfimage and its' hotfix

Ok, I've browsed through numerous threads regarding cfimage issues and the various hotfixes.

Seeing as I am not the administrator of my server's copy of ColdFusion, I wanted to see if I could verify that the latest hotfix was installed. I had seen someone post a version number in a thread from months ago, but I do not have the same version number and do not know how valid that build would be as of now anyway. The version number that I get when retrieving the server info is 8,0,1,196946. Is this consistent with the latest cfimage hotfix version?

On a side note, if anyone has a moment and can test something:

I'm having trouble when resizing/writing certain jpgs (I've tried various methods at this point, including cfimage of course). http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/2839/imageqp8.jpg is an example of an image that is giving me problems (hanging while processing, leading to a timeout). If someone who is certain they have the hotfix could try this and verify that it works for them, it would help narrow down the list of potential issues for me.

Thanks for any help.

    You may have seen this thread already, but one person did mention problems with ImageScaletoFit, even with the patch

    Thanks for the posts. I'm double checking on the hotfix date and, in the meantime, gave your code a shot; I still ran into issues, unfortunately.

    One potential common note of interest: You say this code works in Windows, while the link you provide shows someone having an issue with a UNIX installation. We're on the latter here, which makes me wonder if this issue is somehow limited to UNIX.

    The tests above work on windows, but I expected it would because I have the later (8/15/2008) hotfix applied. It may be that you do not. Did you try the resize work-around linked on the other thread (by Azadi)?

    You might also ask Azadi which o/s he experienced the problem with. That might give you a better indication whether it is a *nix specific issue.

    I could be wrong, but I think you will need administrative access to determine the hotfix level. I believe CF8 Cummulative HF1 includes some image related fixes. However, there were two image hotfixes. Unfortunately both were released with the same number, but on two different dates. AFAIK, the only way to tell if the later image hotfix is installed is to check the file date. It should be 08/15/2008

    I ran a few tests on the image and had no problems with it:
    CF: 8,0,1,195765
    Image Hotfix (hf801-71557.zip - 8/15/2008) installed
    O/S: XP
