AffineTransformOp fails on images of particular dimensions

Question

The following code works fine for an image that is 1296X1296 but if I change it to 36X46656 it gets the error:
Exception in thread "main" java.awt.image.ImagingOpException: Unable to transform src image
at java.awt.image.AffineTransformOp.filter(Unknown Source)
Notice the images actually have the same number of pixels! So it's not the size that's doing it.
Here's the code:
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.image.AffineTransformOp;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import ndvis.img.FlipMode;
import ndvis.img.ImagePanel;

public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
BufferedImage img = new BufferedImage(36, 46656,
BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
AffineTransform flipAtx = ImagePanel.createFlipTransform(
FlipMode.TOP_BOTTOM, img.getWidth(), img.getHeight());
int interpolationType = AffineTransformOp.TYPE_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR;
AffineTransformOp flipAtop = new AffineTransformOp(flipAtx,
interpolationType);
BufferedImage img2 = null;
img2 = flipAtop.filter(img, img2);
Is this a known bug? Am I missing something here?
