1.11.5: Crash to desktop on thumbnail generation

[Hanswurst]

XnView: MP 1.11.5 [10169] 64 bit
OS: Windows 10 22H2 64bit

Got random crashes after a few seconds of viewing pictures. My investigation lead to a suspected error in thumbnail generation (windows event viewer: STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION in ntdll.dll) and at last I could narrow it down to this one image/comic: https://lolnein.com/2015/08/24/walls/

Effect: Program closes after a few seconds if you view an image from the same folder the faulty picture is in. Nothing relevant is logged with debug=2. Faulty picture cannot be opened.

To reproduce:
1. Download that image
2. Open an arbitrary imagefile from the same (download)folder
3. Wait at least 10 seconds
Actual behaviour (bug): crash to desktop without dialog or anything

Expected behaviour: keep viewing the file

XnViewMP 1.11.5 won't even load "walls.png" something about "PNG - ZIP , interlaced, Grayscale" it doesn't like at all. IrfanView, Paint.NET and XYplorer's preview features all work fine.
