The image claims its 51716x9879 pixels which would require alot of resources to be alllocated before ImageMagick discovers the image is corrupt. A quick way to determine it with few resources is with this command:
  • identify -ping bad.gif
However, we need to put a small patch in ImageMagick so it does not call the OpenCache() method when it is streaming (which needlessly allocates the pixel cache when it is not needed by the streaming methods). The patch will be available within the next few days in ImageMagick 6.2.8-8 Beta. Thanks for bringing this problem to our attention.
