With version 80 the following error appears


 (read-bitmap "scheme-box.jpg")
. . jpeg: JPEG parameter struct mismatch: library thinks size is 656, caller 
expects 680


and with version 62 the same is error-free.


It looks like some of the structs have changed between the versions of 
libjpeg, for example in version 80 the struct jpeg_decompress_struct has a 
field is_baseline which does not seem to be represented in the jpeg.rkt file.

I have attached the jpeglib.h version 80 which I have handy.
