Intermittent colormap error when using identify on PNGs

Hey guys. We're running into a problem with identify under ImageMagick 6.6.2-0 and 6.6.2-1, but not under 6.6.1-10. We're running on OS X.

On some PNG files the identify command will intermittently give an error. Here's the command we run:

Code: Select all

identify -format "%wx%h" path/to/image/file.png
Here's the error we sometimes get (about 39% of the time):

Code: Select all

identify: invalid colormap index <filename> @ error/image.c/SyncImage/3906
When the command fails with the above error the exit code is 1. I've uploaded a file which produces the error at http://i.imgur.com/L7d2p.png.

I ran 1000 trials and 607 times the command worked fine and 393 times the command failed.

We diffed the released code between 6.6.1-10 and 6.6.2-1. We noticed some changes from long to ssize_t that seemed suspicious (they occurred in the method getting the error), near line 3906 of image.c. I am not 100% sure that's the problem, just noticed it while hunting around for a probable cause. Here's the relevant diff portion I am referring to:

We noticed in the ChangeLog that a similar bug was fixed on May 8th. I am not sure if this represents a regression or not:

We printed out the native sizes of long, Int, and ssize_t on our system:

Code: Select all

Long: 8

The program we used to compute the type sizes is as follows:

Code: Select all

/*

 * $ gcc -Wall -O0 sizes.c -o sizes
 * $ ./sizes
 * Long: 8
 * Int: 4
 * ssize_t: 8
 * 
 */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main() {
  printf("Long: %lu\n", sizeof(long));
  printf("Int: %lu\n", sizeof(int));
  printf("ssize_t: %lu\n", sizeof(ssize_t));
  return 0;
}

I am getting the same thing, but it is happening about every other time I run the command.

On what IM release and what platform?

I just re-ran the loop above on IM 6.6.2-4 Q16 (non-HDRI) Mac OSX Tiger and it ran successfully for every one of the 100 iterations.

No problems in Windows 7, IM 6.6.2-4 Q16 (64 bit):

Code: Select all

for /L %i in (1,1,100) do identify -format "%wx%h" L7d2p.png
(Edit: corrected typo in command line.)

The sample image above is working for me with 6.6.2-4 compiled via Homebrew.

My system is: dual-core 64-bit core2, OS X: 10.6.3

We got a bug report on this issue, though http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/issue/1573 and I'm trying to get the reporter to give some system info.

I fixed this by removing the Imagemagick that I had installed with homebrew and installing it again using http://github.com/masterkain/ImageMagick-sl.

Scratch that...still broken. Now, if I do /usr/local/bin/identify foo, it works. But, if i just do identify foo, it does not work. In other words, if I supply the fully path to identify the command works, otherwise, the following error occurs,

$ identify -format %wx%h /var/folders/It/ItkZOuw-Ef8DhALMx76IPU+++TI/-Tmp-/stream18638-1,18638,0
identify: invalid colormap index `/var/folders/It/ItkZOuw-Ef8DhALMx76IPU+++TI/-Tmp-/stream18638-1,18638,0' @ error/image.c/SyncImage/3894.

sounds like an IM confusion. do you have more than one IM installed (perhaps in more than one place, e.g /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin or somewhere else). possibly they are getting confused and when you do identify without the full path it is going to one version that is not properly installed or cannot find the files it needs.

P.S. This appears to be a different issue than the original post. It is usually not good to tack onto another post. For best results in getting this resolved or the attention of the IM staff, I would suggest you repost as a new topic.

Unfortunately, this is not the case: I have only one version of IM installed. I did use http://github.com/masterkain/ImageMagick-sl a second time and change it to use 6.6.1-10, as recommended above. Everything seems to be working fine now.

Sorry to say it's working and then it's not and then it is... However, it seems that the solution described above fails as well. Interestingly,

OK (full path):

$ /usr/local/bin/identify -format %wx%h /var/folders/It/ItkZOuw-Ef8DhALMx76IPU+++TI/-Tmp-/stream470-2,470,1 5x5

FAIL:

$ identify -format %wx%h /var/folders/It/ItkZOuw-Ef8DhALMx76IPU+++TI/-Tmp-/stream470-2,470,1 identify: invalid colormap index `/var/folders/It/ItkZOuw-Ef8DhALMx76IPU+++TI/-Tmp-/stream470-2,470,1' @ error/image.c/SyncImage/3900.

Before you ask:

$ which identify /usr/local/bin/identify

I have:

The latest version of Imagemagick seems to work great (version: 6.6.2-4). The problem has disappeared for me.

Hello,

I have found similar issue related to the simple BMP image, example:

I'm not seeing this incorrect BMP behavior with IM-6.8.6-4 on Ubuntu. I ran "identify" a couple of thousand times.
