Given an image of width say 100, the code

causes MediaWiki to generate a 100px thumbnail. Besides wasting disk
space, this bug is annoying since the thumbnail is often larger than
the original image.
Attached is a 1-character patch against CVS head that should fix the problem.
First, you need to define the problem.
Is the problem that a thumbnail is generated for a size of 100px? That's
not a problem; that's a deliberate feature! Transferring a 4 megabyte
photograph instead of a 70kb thumbnail doesn't make a lot of sense.
Not having looked at the patch or the code, I think he was saying that
a thumb would get generated even if the width of the image is the same
as the would-be thumb.
