System: Linux (Debian Lenny/amd64)
I was trying to use ulimit -v to prevent ImageMagick from using a lot of virtual memory on a server and causing it to thrash. I have now discovered the MAGICK_AREA_LIMIT environment variable which seems like a better solution to my problem, but thought I'd report the bug I found anyway.
When I run identify as follows:
Code: Select all
ulimit -v 262144
/usr/local/bin/identify -format %w-@-%h-@-%r-@- -define pdf:use-cropbox=true /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/asset-bank/files/0/MBA_final_doc.pdfI attached to it with gdb to get a backtrace, and it looks like it is deadlocking when trying to get the MemoryAllocationFailed error message when the memory allocation in AcquirePixelCache fails:
Code: Select all
