I've been playing with some GIS software and 32Mb TIFF images. Running
ImageMagick's "convert" utility under my normal user login to convert the
image to gif or jpeg blows away the system every time. No panic seen on the
console and no core dump found, the system just quietly reboots. Upon reboot
/var is full and corrupt and takes ages for the background fsck to fix it so
I normally boot into single user mode and do it myself.
Is anyone else seeing this? I can happily supply an image that causes the
problem if someone wants to try it.
It's known problem:

And there is bandaid patch by Uwe Doering that at least allows
to keep system alive:

I'd applied this patch year ago on one of our production servers,
and the bug was gone. However, no one wants to commit this patch.
