Public bug reported: I am experiencing the following bizarre crash when attempting to convert SVG images:
# download a sample image wget https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/67/Firefox_Logo%2C_2017.svg # re-download the same image with a different name wget https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/67/Firefox_Logo%2C_2017.svg -O firefox.svg # even copy the original image to a different name cp Firefox_Logo,_2017.svg firefox2.svg # no convert the images (recall they are identical) convert Firefox_Logo,_2017.svg firefox.png # works convert firefox.svg firefox.png # Aborted (core dumped) convert firefox2.svg firefox.png # Aborted (core dumped) The problem can be reproduced at least on two different laptops configured similarly (but based on different hardware), so it is not random and not specific to one system.
