Hello, I'm encountering a segmentation fault when using convert:

$ convert -size 500x500 'phpHhTeR2.jpg' -thumbnail '500x500>' 'xyz.jpg'
Here is the image: http://89.234.7.89/images/phpHhTeR2.jpg

Here is the stack trace:

Any help appreciated.

We can reproduce the problem and will have a fix in ImageMagick 6.3.5-1 scheduled for release within a week. Thanks.

Thanks, how efficient! Will it be available in CVS sooner, or was that what you meant?

The patch is in magick/xml-tree.c and will be available by tommorrow at the ftp site and in subversion.
