[TYPO3-english] hundreds of gm processes spawned after upgrading to TYPO3 on 4.2.10 on Solaris / SunOS 5.10

[Andreas Kiessling]

Hi,

i have updated TYPO3 from 4.2.9 to 4.2.10 on a Solaris server running 
SunOS 5.10.

My hoster informed me today, that hundreds of gm processes were started.

The processes were started like this:

  argv[0]: /var.local/opt/bin/gm
  argv[1]: convert
  argv[2]: -geometry
  argv[3]: 444x194!
  argv[4]: -colorspace
  argv[5]: RGB
  argv[6]: -quality
  argv[7]: 70
  argv[8]: uploads/tx_templavoila/test.jpg\\[0\\]
  argv[9]: typo3temp/pics/10835d691a.jpg

First, we thought gm does not like the \\[0\\] , but this worked in a 
standalone script:

exec('/var.local/opt/bin/gm convert -geometry 444x194! -colorspace RGB 
-quality 70 uploads/tx_templavoila/test.jpg\\[0\\] /tmp/test2.jpg');

Before updating TYPO3 and after downgrading again (+ killing the gm 
processes), everything worked again.

I also updated TYPO3 on several Debian servers, and they do not seem to 
suffer from that problem.

System info:
SunOS 5.10 Generic_127112-11 i86pc i386 i86pc
PHP 5.2.8
GraphicsMagick 1.1.10 2007-09-19

Does anybody have an idea, what is going on there? Did anybody have the 
same problems on other systems?

Regards,
Andreas
