I do not know which version of giflib is at fault. I have media-libs/giflib-4.1.4 installed.
incase its missed, I placed the url to the image in the URL entry. Though I put it here anyhow: http://strangesoft.net/kentsavatar.gif Also, firefox does animate it properly, without using any extra cpu.
Can't reproduce, but it doesn't animate.
Seems not to be an uncommmon problem. You may want to track (and attach your sample gif to) this bug¹. There's also a number of other relevant upstream bugs². [1] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137213 [2] http://tinyurl.com/2lv4m4
