[Magick-bugs] bug in +profile '*'

For reasons of backwards compatibility with ImageMagick 5,
I've been using +profile '*' in preference to
-strip to get rid of profiles (when making low res images,
where file size is important).

It appears that in the transition between 6.2.5 and 6.3.0
something went wrong.

Somewhere in the handling of +profile '*', the '*'
is expanded as a file glob, with predictably(1) awful results.

Is this a known problem?

(1) actually, since the consequences depend on
the contents of the current directory, the consequences
are variable and unpredictable ;-)
