The problem is actually caused by something else.  Notice that the image
height is 1720, but the rows-per-strip is not equal to that; in other words,
it's multi-strip.  In a multi-strip image, you'll need more than one
strip-offset.  But you only have one.  So it's not really a well-formed
image, IMO.  If you are in control of the software that created the image,
you might have a bug to fix... :-)
