Thanks snoopy,

At least now I know there's nothing more I can do with it (getting a newer version of Image::Magick is not an option).

Before I revert my code back to running 'convert' as a shell command, is there a way to get at the handles created by Image::Magick and force close them outside of Image::Magick?

    This smells like a serious bug. It has the potential to destabilise other parts of your application.

    As a work-around, your best bet could be to convert your sub to a stand-alone command-script and run it as a once per image from your main program.

    Submit this as a bug report, if you've got a few minutes, Otherwise I will!

    Update:The bug went away on my system after I upgraded to 6.3.6

    From the change log:

    2007-05-03  6.3.4-1 Cristy  <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
      * Add support for PFM images.
      * Check for corrupt EXIF image profiles.
      * Writing JPEG YCbCr TIFF images no longer faults (reference
