Package: imagemagick
Version: 7:6.2.4.5.dfsg1-0.9
Severity: important

I'm using perlmagick as part of my image gallery, which runs under
mod_perl2 on threaded Apache. However, when I am to load a .NEF file,
ImageMagick goes out, forks, and calls dcraw to decode the image.
(They get way too dark since dcraw doesn't do equalization when
outputting 16-bit PPMs, but that's a different story.) However, when
multiple such images are decoded at the same time, I suddenly seem to
get too many dcraw processes running at the same time, and corruption in
what's written -- I have no idea why, but my primary guess it that it
has _something_ to do with threading and fork() -- I do not get this
when loading JPEG images or anything else that doesn't require a
delegate.

By the way, there is a library (libopenraw) which is essentially dcraw
wrapped into a library; it might hide the problem well enough for me :-)
