I've seen some of the problem myself, mainly corrupt images or options that
behaved different in a previous release. I've heard of even more problems of
the later kind, mainly in usenet posts.

GraphicsMagick is designed for stability. You may even call it the stable
release of ImageMagick.
I'm all for stability, but I've never had any problems with ImageMagick, 
although I've not done anything too terribly complex.  Mostly conversion 
from one format to another, adding frames to a bunch of images, 
combining images, adjusting brightness/contrast of images.

GraphicsMagick is designed for stability. You may even call it the stable
release of ImageMagick. 
According to their mission goal, the developers aim for:

- fewer crashes
- fewer bugs
- consistent behaviour
- stable APIs

HTH,
Michael

Hi,

You could use "convert" from the ImageMagick suite and a small bash 
script like:

#!/bin/bash
for image in *.bmp; do
target=`echo $image | sed s/.bmp/.jpg/`
convert $image $target
done


mogrify -format jpg *.bmp

Why?

use imagemagick, convert:

# this is ksh

for fn in *.bmp;do
convert $fn ${foo#*.bmp}.jpg
done

Harish,

  Thanks that exactly what I was missing. The convert command itself.
  Thanks.
