Pillow decodes a lot of image formats, some of which are safer and better specified than others. Experience with [other projects](http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2014/01/ffmpeg-and-thousand-fixes.html) has shown that there are many bugs lurking in otherwise functional code. Running a large corpus of valid, invalid, or otherwise fuzzed images while recording and investigating errors and crashes should improve the robustness of Pillow.
