Possible problem with -virtual-pixel in 6.7.6-8

[yoav.gonen]

Hi,
I'm trying to run the following command:

Code: Select all

convert -virtual-pixel transparent image1.tif image2.tif

Using version 6.7.6-8, I get an error:

Code: Select all

convert: unable to acquire cache view 'No such file or directory' @ fatal/cache-view.c/AcquireAuthenticCacheView/120.

The same command works in version 6.7.5-4. This is centos 5.6 on a 64-bit machine.

Any ideas?
Note that the original command is much longer and involves distortion and composition, but it seems that the -virtual-pixel option is the cause of the error.

Thanks
