Questions and postings pertaining to the development of ImageMagick, feature enhancements, and ImageMagick internals. ImageMagick source code and algorithms are discussed here. Usage questions which are too arcane for the normal user list should also be posted here.

Best I can suggest is upgrade to a more current version of IM. you are at 6.3.9 and IM is at 6.5.9.1 (so you are about 200 versions behind).
here is what my hosting company said about upgrading.
Hello,
Unfortunatly, we are not able to upgrade image magick on our shared or resellers at this time. We have had problems with memory issues after upgrading and had to downgrade them back.
Curious. More recent versions of ImageMagick do not require any more memory of significance than 6.3.9. Furthermore recent versions of ImageMagick permit the system administrator to set system wide resource limits in the policy.xml file. For example, the administrator can set a policy where any image that consumes more than 2GB of memory is cached to disk. The policy.xml configuration file was created partially to address problems associated with shared hosting.

on Windows 7, IM 6.6.0-8, happily creates the still file from the tenth frame. The bad news is: it uses and needs ffmpeg. Most open source software needs ffmpeg for video processing.
