This seems to be an error of pnmtopng (13 = SIGPIPE). Please
check pnmtopng. My pnmtopng of netpbm-10.30 also does not run
correctly, so I am now using it of netpbm-10.26 (on Solaris 9).

Apparently pnmtopng (from netpbm-10.31) gets a random segmentation fault, even when not reading a pipe:

That's three segmentation faults in eight trials.

I ran it under gdb and found that the crash is in rawmemchr() from /lib/libc.so.6:

> gdb /usr/bin/pnmtopng
(gdb) set args -interlace < foo.pnm >! img3356.png
(gdb) r
Starting program: /usr/bin/pnmtopng -interlace < foo.pnm >! img3356.png
Reading symbols from shared object read from target memory...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
Loaded system supplied DSO at 0xf50000
(no debugging symbols found) ...

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0088a6b0 in rawmemchr () from /lib/libc.so.6

Recompiling for debugging with "-O0 -g" made the problem go away completely. It appears turning off optimization (normally "-O3") makes the problem go away. The next step is to compile "-g -O3" and track down the bug, but at least there seems to be a workaround for now. I've now converted several hundred images without a single failure.
