RESOLVED: Seems I was not patient enough and it took longer than I anticipated to finish creating the image.

Any text drawing or annotation commands seem to hang and never finish.
Example:
convert -background lightblue -fill blue \
-font Candice -pointsize 72 label:Anthony \
label.gif
Similar issues with -draw and -annotate. Tried with other output formats such as .png and same problem.
Can you verify?
