I am trying to load an animated PNG (that I previously created successfully using ImageSharp). Unfortunately I get a NullReferenceException when loading the stream:

var img = Image.Load(inputStream);

The image loads fine for example in Chrome and the animation plays.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use the image provided
2. Create a stream using (var fileStream = await file.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.Read))
3. Try to load it with: var img = Image.Load(inputStream);
4. NullReferenceException occurs
