Thats why I added retval as a condition in the following if, maybe you
missed that.
I was under the impression that gdk_pixbuf_loader_load_module would
return false if it an error occurred, in addition to possibly setting error.

Speaking about GError. In the low mem tests of test-loaders, I encountered
the interesting situation that the loader tries to use g_set_error to report
an
out-of-memory situation - and then g_set_error falls on its face because it
tries to allocate some more memory for duplicating the message.

Is there anything that can be done about this ?
Other than using a very short message like "OOM"...
