convert: ../../magick/list.c:224: CloneImages: Assertion `images->signature == 0xabacadabUL' failed.

I can provide the png in question if necessary, however this happens with many different similarly sized/formatted pngs.

Can you reproduce this issue with the latest version of ImageMagick? I am unable to reproduce the issue with the following command:

What do you mean by "clone fails"? What are you expecting as a result -- one png or two?

Clones need to be in parenthesis. Try this (unix syntax)
or in windows syntax,
Always best to provide your platform along with the IM version, since syntax differs.

Example:
produces two exact copies of the rose image cropped to 32x26: out-0.png and out-1.png. You might also want to include the gravity setting for where it should be cropped or padded and if padded, then the background color.

If this is not what you are trying to achieve, then please explain further.

I'll have to wait for the latest version to be packaged for my distro. I'll check back in then.

I mean that the program throws an assertion and bails out, producing no output file at all.

Does it fail with my modified command line?

It works fine for me on IM 6.8.9.9 Q16 Mac OSX. I get two output images as described above.

Is it possible your input image is corrupt? Might you have two versions of IM installed on your system?

Might you have a corrupt or old version of libpng? I am using libpng @1.6.12_0
