So at first I would check the bug tracking system

        http://bugs.debian.org/imagemagick

whether this is a known bug.  If not I would use

        reportbug

to report this problem.

Use Gimp once you reported the bug.

Kind regards

         Andreas.

PS: What is the reason for posting this kind of questions on debian-laptop.
    I would call debian-user as the right list.
