Description of problem:
I used GraphicsMagick "convert" on a large picture (identify -> "picture.tif TIFF 57086x57618+0+0 DirectClass 8-bit 2.2G 0.000u 0:01"). I have 16 GB RAM in my PC. I think it is a combination of convert and the fedora-shell (maybe the buffer or cache-mechanism)? It also occurs on the ImageMagick equivalent. But only in Fedora-shell. On Ubuntu 12.04 shell the behaviour is a little bit different: The convert-process in GraphicsMagick worked, but with resize and convert I stopped it after 6 hours.

Version-Release number of selected component:
GraphicsMagick-1.3.17-1.fc17

libreport version: 2.0.16
