Exception reading a CMYK Jpeg

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Generate a CMYK JPG, call it selectedFile
1. Run Thumbnails.of(selectedFile).size(500, 500).toFile(thumb500File);

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output - thumb500File created normally

Actual output: Exception raised "Incompatible color conversion"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Which
version of Java (Sun/Oracle? OpenJDK?) ?

OpenJDK 7u9, Ubuntu Linux

Please provide any additional information below.

The core Java method ImageIO.read produces exactly the same exception, e.g.

BufferedImage originalImage = ImageIO.read(selectedFile);

so it looks like the issue is with Java, however other people have found 
workarounds -

io/

Would it be possible to implement a workaround in Thumbnailator too? I think 
the Java issue dates back some time.

A sample JPG exhibiting the problem is attached.
