That does seem strange.  A size of 0 suggests that the size was 
still being limited.

An another option is to run the command directly under gdb without 
needing a core dump.  Do it like this:

gdb /usr/local/bin/gm
run convert [ rest of convert options ]
[ gdb should report that program did something bad ]
bt
quit
