The problem you reported is fixed in ImageMagick 6.4.2-5 Beta available sometime tomorrow. Thanks.

i see in the changelog (2008-07-20 6.4.2-5 Cristy) this problem may have been fixed. ("Certain corrupt GIF images no longer hang")

i just installed the latest version from source (6.4.6-9) and i am still seeing convert hang on certain gifs, specifically animated ones. it would seem this problem occurs (among other places?) when you try to crop to a size bigger than the existing gif size. for example, the following command hung on both of these gifs from two different sources.

convert -crop 210x175+-20+0 hang.gif out.gif
