All of the GraphicsMagick snapshots prior to 1.2.020051001 (issued today) have 
a bug in that the last position in text header fields is reserved for a null 
byte.  This is a problem since text header fields in DPX are not null 
terminated and some of the fields in the motion picture part of the header need 
all of the space.  As a result, a few header fields were corrupted when a file 
was converted.

The development snapshots may be downloaded from

   ftp://ftp.graphicsmagick.org/pub/GraphicsMagick/snapshots/

If you have installed a previous snapshot of GraphicsMagick, please update 
ASAP.

As a reminder, when building from source code, please make sure to supply the 
option --with-quantum-depth=16 so that internal sample storage is 16 bits.

Many thanks to the user who discovered and reported the bug.
