Some animated GIFs corrupted while watermarking

Post by Nightfoxx »

Basically I have a website with a gallery that uses ImageMagick to watermark it's images.
Everything works perfectly but some (about 40%) of the animated GIFs I upload end up corrupted while watermarking them.
The thumbnails which don't have watermarks are processed fine (they're not animated though).

I don't know what feature in images exactly causes this, first I thought filesize compared to the with and height but that doesn't seem to be it.
All I know right now is that it's with the same images only. I
mages that got watermarked fine the first time will work again fine if I try again.
This goes for batch uploads as well as single uploads. I asked my host if it's some sort of fault on their part but they forwarded me here.

Please provide your command line, version of IM and platform and if possible links to a small animation and watermark file for testing that fails.
