In an answer at stackoverflow a certain José Pereda
helpfully pointed me to some resources.
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27840362/javafx-large-image-crash>

Perhaps there are problems with large images in JavaFX.
Perhaps my hardware is not up to the task.
Using the -Dprism.verbose=true switch, I see that I'm not able to use
hardware acceleration.

Do I really need all that?
I'm able to wrangle that image and more in Swing and SWT!

Prism pipeline name = com.sun.prism.es2.ES2Pipeline
Loading ES2 native library ... prism_es2
	succeeded.
GLFactory using com.sun.prism.es2.X11GLFactory
(X) Got class = class com.sun.prism.es2.ES2Pipeline
Failed Graphics Hardware Qualifier check.
System GPU doesn't meet the es2 pipe requirement
Prism pipeline name = com.sun.prism.sw.SWPipeline

GraphicsPipeline.createPipeline: error initializing pipeline 
com.sun.prism.es2.ES2Pipeline
*** Fallback to Prism SW pipeline

It's all too bad. I have a nice little Swing image annotation
application that I think would benefit from the JavaFX
scenegraph rather that my little homemade one but now it seems
I'll be unable to try it.

Boo hoo.
