Comment 3 for bug 1155142

Small workaround:

        cuneiform -l ruseng $file.gif
        if [ ! -f cuneiform-out.txt ]; then
                echo OCR Fail trying Blur
                convert -adaptive-blur 2 $file.gif $file-blur.gif
                cuneiform -l ruseng $file-blur.gif
        fi
        if [ ! -f cuneiform-out.txt ]; then
                echo OCR Fail trying resize 200%
                convert -resize 200% $file.gif $file-200.gif
                cuneiform -l ruseng $file-200.gif
        fi

it works on your smple file.
