So, one of my tools tried to get a thumbnail from a file on Commons.
Turns out it's an OGG video. 75px thumbnail here:

hmmm... these pixels get larger every day! :-)
The OggHandler transform routine does not respect the width parameter. It
only generates stills at a single size. This is to avoid the overhead of
decoding the video multiple times. The filename is normalised before it is
written to the hard drive by thumb.php, but unfortunately it is still
streamed by thumb.php and the 404 handler.
