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 :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16trofastxen Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages imagemagick depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.3-3 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libice6 1:1.0.0-3 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjasper-1.701-1 1.701.0-2 The JasPer JPEG-2000 runtime libra ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii liblcms1 1.15-1 Color management library ii libmagick9 7:6.2.4.5.dfsg1-0.9 Image manipulation library ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5.1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 Session Management library ii libtiff4 3.8.2-5 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-7 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxml2 2.6.26.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime imagemagick recommends no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
