Unsupported Image Format help! - jpeg

I have this normal jpeg file 1600 x 1200 that I downloaded and imported into Aperture. The image worked fine in Finder, it didn't generate a preview/thumbnail but sometimes Finder doesn't always do that but I can open it up in Preview.app and view it just fine. The image also opens up in Adobe Photoshop CS 3 fine also, it just doesn't open in Aperture. In Aperture it will say "Unsupported Image Format" in white letters on a burgandy colored background where the image is supposed to be.

Below is a link one of the images I have this problem with but note that I have this problem with a lot of jpeg files just recently.

If you guys want more images that are facing this same problem I could post links to them but I think if we find the problem with one of the images then we would have found the problem with all of them.

Please any help as to why this is happening or and what I can do to fix it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

I just returned from a trip and uploaded 5,254 photos. I am getting this message on some of the photos and there is nothing different about the photos because they all come from the same camera. BUGS!

Yes, I have restarted my machine and rebuilt my database. Makes me want to go to Adobe. I can't have this.

Could you be running low on memory or disk space? This will sometimes cause unsupported image format.

Thanks for asking. I have the max memory at 4GB and use less than 1/2 of my 930 GB HD. I think sometimes the program hits the ceiling and gets maxed out (professional?).

Most of the time it will function correctly after I shut the program down and reboot the computer.

However, there are also other problems like when I crop something and then go to another tool and the crop changes.

I really liked working with iPhoto until it could no longer handle my DB of 83,000 photos and with the new version it was just toooo slow.
