Hi,

I have a python script that is processing 6,240 14-bit TIFs, each one has to be 
made into 32 new images (8-bit exposure ranges), which are later enfused with 
Enfuse (also via command line).

Unfortunately, ImageMagick "convert" command crashes every 500-1000 images or 
so, it just freezes the entire python script. I have to control-C to kill the 
current convert command, then the script continues to run until the next error.

I am not running out of system memory. However, occasionally I get a convert 
malloc error when it freezes, but not always:
convert(64216,0x7fff70cdbca0) malloc: *** error for object 0x100b00488: 
incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being 
freed.

I can re-run the script any number of times to have it create only the ones it 
failed to make the first time. But that is troublesome because I have to check 
on it and babysit it every couple hours hit control-C.

What is the fix or a more permanent workaround? Code details are below. It will 
always freeze right after the "print" statement, activity monitor shows that 
"convert" command is continuing to run at 80% CPU, but it will stay like that 
for hours until I control-C it to kill that individual convert command. The 
image is never created. The next image is created just fine. And then the 
script continues to run.

many thanks,
jordan
