After the usual world update, imagemagick and perlmagick were upgraded to 5.5.7.15. Since then, my perl script which uses them always segfaults. This guy (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=136994&highlight=magick) has the same problem. I followed his advice and downgraded both imagemagick and perlmagick to 5.5.6, and the problem is gone. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run any perl script that uses perlmagick. Actual Results: Segfault.

I've looked at the forum post, looked at the ebuild, and there is nothing there to indicate that it would be depending on a lower version - in fact, the ebuild is written so that it depends on the same version as itself, since they are really just parts of the same package. As for your segfaults, maybe you could share some sample code? I'm using 5.5.7.15 as a part of a photo gallery app without any problems. Thanks!
