[Magick-bugs] montage Segmentation Fault

Hi,

I receive a segmentation fault when using montage, either from command 
line or in perl.

example:
#montage a.jpg b.jpg out.jpg
segmentation fault

However, if I specify -font on command line (or add font attribute in 
perl) it works fine (does not seg fault).

example:

#montage -font nonexistant a.jpg b.jpg out.jpg

produces out.jpg

I'm not exactly sure this is a bug, and my first guess was that one of 
the libraries isn't built right. I'm running this on a 64 bit CentOS 
system. But I'm not sure why the thing ONLY works with the font 
switch... Note that the font specified does not have to exist. (Unless I 
suppose you are placing text on  the montage.) Also, convert, identify, 
etc seem to work fine.
