ImageMagick on armhf



I have been having some issues getting captions to work with imagemagick on an armhf machine. As per http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#caption_paragraphs I was trying to get the captions to read in from a file.

On my amd64 machine, the following works and prompts on stdin for the caption:

 convert -background lightblue -fill blue -pointsize 12 -size 320x caption:@-  caption_file.gif

On the armhf machine, it doesn't even wait for stdin, it just exits and caption file just contains the @- as the caption.

Package version:
amd64 8:6.8.9.9-7+b2
armhf 8:6.8.9.9-5+deb8u2

Imagemagick reports:
amd64: Version: ImageMagick 6.8.9-9 Q16 x86_64 2016-04-08 http://www.imagemagick.org
armhf: Version: ImageMagick 6.8.9-9 Q16 arm 2016-05-16 http://www.imagemagick.org

Any ideas why the arm version doesn't appear to support reading from files with the @ notation?

Cheers,
Andrew.
