I have a file, not an image, that when run through convert will eventually run the server out of memory and crash it.

It is a Centos 5.5 box with 24GB ram and 2GB of swap.

ImageMagick version 6.6.5-10 (from the ImageMagick site).

File contents are as follows ( I know this is not an image, but if by accident convert runs on an ascii file I don't expect it to eat up 26GB of memory )

ImageMagick 6.2 from the Centos Repos works fine and says 'not a jpeg'.

Thanks for any insight into this.
