Imagepng Problems

I wrote a small PHP script to help me to batch process images. It has worked for months without a glitch - until now. The script simply takes in an image and rotates it. The problem is with imagepng. When it tries to save I get a 255 error and nothing (or sometimes a little of the file) is put into the output file. I checked doing the same thing with several other programs (such as Photoshop, Visio, Canvas, Paint.NET, and Painter and none of them had a problem with the image. I switched out imagepng with imagegif and there were no problems saving the file either. So I'm suspecting a problem with imagepng. After this happened - imagepng will no longer work. I've even uninstalled and re-installed PHP and imagepng still will not work. I am using PHP v5.3.23. My system has 2GB of memory and is a Dell 6400. I amusing a 1TB disk drive with around 500GB free. The image is very large so I am going to put it onto my FTP server. You can get the image from there. Use the standard anonymous login with no password. Server's location is www.sim1.us.

I thought about it and decided to add one more thing: It isn't that imagepng won't work in the PHP script. It is that imagepng will not work period. Since I ran my program and tried to rotate this image imagepng just won't work. Even on simple things like a blank image I just get a 255 error. Even on a 10x10 image - I get the 255 error. So it isn't that it doesn't work in my program. It is like I broke something major in imagepng and now it won't do anything at all. So any ideas on what stupid thing I did would be helpful. :-)

Here is the program:

        $size = getimagesize( $v );
        $old = imagecreatefrompng( $v );
        imagealphablending( $old, false );
