I'm not sure if this is a security issue.  Is it necessary that the
image is crafted in a particular way?

Could you please backport this change:

http://trac.imagemagick.org/changeset?reponame=&new=8762%40ImageMagick%2Ftrunk%2FMagickCore%2Fcache-view.c&old=8759%40ImageMagick%2Ftrunk%2FMagickCore%2Fcache-view.c

, upload to unstable, and request a freeze exception from the release
team?  Thanks.
