nconvert 4.79 segmentation fault when rotating

[suki_babee]

I noticed image rotations of arbitrary angles result in jagged edges, so I was happy to see the 4.79 release add a "-rotate_flag smooth" option. But I can't get it to work.

This works (with jaggies): nconvert -rotate 9 -o out.jpg orig.jpg
this produces the same result (I guess the smooth flag is not picked up) : nconvert -rotate_flag smooth -rotate 9 -o out.jpg orig.jpg
but anything specified after the "-rotate" param results in a segmentation fault : nconvert -rotate 9 -rotate_flag smooth -o out.jpg orig.jpg
for instance, this command works on ver 4.51, but segmentation faults on 4.79 : nconvert -rotate 9 -crop 0 0 100 100 -o out.jpg orig.jpg

output :

Code: Select all

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I am running the Linux x86 version on Ubuntu 6.10.

I have not done a lot of testing, but I see that a basic command :

nconvert -crop 0 0 100 100 -o out.jpg orig.jpg

also seg faults on 4.79, but runs fine on 4.51. I can't be the first to notice something like this. Is nconvert dependent on shared libraries? What can I do to help isolate the problem / collect more info ?

Ok, i'll update a version...
