Fellow monks:
I'm trying the following thing with Image::Magick. As you can see, it's all very simple, but it segfaults when trying to write the image in wbmp format..
Does anyone have any clues? 
#!/usr/bin/perl 
use Image::Magick ;

my @files = grep { /png/ } `ls` ;

foreach my $f (@files) {
        chomp $f ;
 
        my $loc = Image::Magick->new;
        $loc->Read($f);
        $loc->Set(monochrome => "True") ;
        $loc->Set(monochrome => "True",matte =>"True") ;
        my ($w, $h, $size, $format) = $loc->Ping("$f");
        $w = 1+int(($w-1)/8);
        $w *= 8;

        my $bg = Image::Magick->new;
        $bg->Set(debug =>"All") ;
        $bg->Set(size=>$w."x$h");
#       $bg->Set(type => "Grayscale") ; 
        $bg->Set(monochrome => "True") ;
        $bg->ReadImage('xc:white');
        $bg->Composite(image=>$loc, gravity=>"Center");
        undef $loc;
        $bg->Set(monochrome => "True",matte =>"True") ;
        $bg->Write("wbmp:foo.wbmp") ;
        
last;
}
