I haven't tried imagemagick recently, but it's crashed my system enough times over the years that I avoid it whenever possible. Unless it has changed recently, it doesn't check memory. If it runs out of memory it will keep trying until the system daemons run out of memory and start crashing. I compared it against xv, xloadimage, and gimp, and all of the others would abort an operation and give a warning when they ran out of memory. Of course, if you have *lots* of memory, then it's probably safe enough. -- Carl Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
