I've seen (unanswered) crash reports related to ImageMagick. Eg
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8341
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11701
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11831
And as you know, ImageMagick support for animated/multi-frame images is
broken
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=7978
And likewise for metadata in general
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?include=subject%3Amagick;package=emacs
And no-one seems interested in working on any of these issues, so IMO we
should stick with the more tested image libraries as default for the
formats that they handle.
