At some time in the past few months I was planning to upgrade
ImageMagick, but the then-current release failed one of my tests.
Specifically,
 display /path/to/first-file.jpg /path/to/second-file.jpg

 In a good version, this displays the first file, and then lets me
click on 'next' in the menu (right mouse for menu) and go to to the
next file.  It also lets me go to the previous entry, or resize.

 On the more-recent version I was testing, 'next' stuck at the first
image.  I was lacking time, so I didn't follow it up, or go to the
version that was in the book, and I stuck with 6.7.8-6 which had
previously passed my limited tests (display multiple files, mogrify
jpegs to a different size).

 For my current build, after realizing that the .la module files were
needed, I decided to update to the version in BLFS, and downloaded
it from anduin.  And found the same breakage.  So, ImageMagick has
been broken for some time (sad, but not surprising - the last time I
had a problem with 'display' it eventually got fixed, but some time
after the first report on their forum).

 But I'm surprised nobody else hads noticed this.  Are you all using
something else ?  I can't believe I'm the only one using display to
review a series of images (photos) when I'm selecting them for
processing and upload.
