Take a look in main.c for the comment "JMT - stupid ImageMagick" and the fix appears clear. Jack apparently encountered a related problem in ImageMagick years ago and kludged around it. They appear to have introduced a new issue whose fix is probably the same. I have a few minutes to look at it and am going to try to fix it now. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
