Karmic: No space to read TIFF directory

[adamski]

Binary package hint: imagemagick

When converting a fax TIFF file using ImageMagick (with e.g. convert(1) or perlmagick) from TIFF to PDF (and possibly others), the conversion fails:

$ convert foo.tif foo.pdf
/tmp/magick-XXmV1fsa: No space to read TIFF directory.
/tmp/magick-XXOKXm3F: No space to read TIFF directory.
convert: unable to open file `foo.pdf': No such file or directory @ compress.c/Huffman2DEncodeImage/1000.

This is a known bug that is already fixed upstream:

Which compression method of tiff does ImageMagick support? (deflate? pack bits?)
