Running ImageMagick's "convert" utility under my normal user login to convert the image to gif or jpeg blows away the system every time. No panic seen on the console and no core dump found, the system just quietly reboots. Upon reboot /var is full and corrupt and takes ages for the background fsck to fix it so I normally boot into single user mode and do it myself. Is anyone else seeing this? I can happily supply an image that causes the problem if someone wants to try it. Carl.
