I now get a segfault with both images using 0.9.7 and the following
command:
"gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=/home/hen/Desktop/working.jpg !
jpegdec ! xvimagesink"

With the output as follows:

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
Segmentation fault

If I remove the final element (leaving the src of jpegdec floating) the
pipeline doesn't segfault, and exits fine but with the following error:

ERROR: from element /pipeline0/filesrc0: Internal data flow error.
Additional debug info:
gstbasesrc.c(1032): gst_base_src_loop: /pipeline0/filesrc0:

ERROR: pipeline doesn't want to preroll.

I have tried this in 0.10 just to be sure. Made no difference.

This is my first venture into gstreamer, and so I apologise if this is a
trivial problem, although I feel fairly sure it should not be
segfaulting ;)

Thanks
