             Bug #: 30550
           Summary: $wgMaxShellMemory too low for stock ImageMagick on
                    RHEL / CentOS 6
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Images and files
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


The stock ImageMagick shipped with RHEL / CentOS 6 is compiled with OpenMP, and
this seems to vastly increase its (virtual) memory usage. The default setting
for $wgMaxShellMemory, 100MB, is not even enough for convert to start up.
Raising it to 1024MB only allows it to work on small images—convert segfaults
on a 1,485 Ă— 2,070 pixel, 1.79 MB JPEG. Given that this only limits *virtual*
memory usage, and that this is (or, at least, will be) a common stock setup,
perhaps it is worth considering changing the default value of $wgMaxShellMemory
to 'unlimited', or otherwise changing what it means.
