[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#1021257: imagemagick-6.q16: import renders X unresponsive

[Cédric Hannotier]

Package: imagemagick-6.q16
Version: 8:6.9.11.60+dfsg-1.3+b3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Using import (symlink to import-im6.q16) freezes the whole X session.
Only exit door is to go to another tty and kill the process.

Steps:
$ import my_file_name
