Invalid context when creating UIImageView

I have an error when I tried to create a UIImageView. Look at this code :

UIImage* backgroundPanel = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"loginPanelBackground.png"] resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(90, 0, 149, 416)];

self.connexionBackgroundImgView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:backgroundPanel];
self.connexionBackgroundImgView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 416, 390); // THIS LINE PROVOC THE INVALID CONTEXT
[self.connexionView insertSubview:self.connexionBackgroundImgView aboveSubview:self.connexionToCreationCompteView];

It throws this error in the log :

<Error>: CGContextSaveGState: invalid context 0x0
<Error>: CGContextSetBlendMode: invalid context 0x0
<Error>: CGContextSetAlpha: invalid context 0x0
<Error>: CGContextTranslateCTM: invalid context 0x0

<Error>: CGContextDrawTiledImage: invalid context 0x0
<Error>: CGContextRestoreGState: invalid context 0x0
<Error>: CGContextRestoreGState: invalid context 0x0

I had this error only on the iPad, not with the Simulator, I don't understand.. :/

I had this problem until I found out that my cap inset argument to resizableImageWithCapInsets: was wrong — it didn't leave any un-capped area at all (you need at least 1x1 pixel not covered by a cap). So make sure that:

(insets.left + insets.right) < width

and

(insets.top + insets.bottom) < height
