imagick crash with PHP 5.3

I'm getting this error:

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

This only occurs when I try to load an image using ImageMagick.

<?php 

header('Content-type: text/html');

$image = 'some_image.jpg';



/*** a new imagick object ***/

$im = new Imagick();



/*** ping the image ***/

$im->pingImage($image);



/*** read the image into the object ***/

$im->readImage( $image );



/**** convert to png ***/

$im->setImageFormat( "png" );



/*** write image to disk ***/

$im->writeImage( '/tmp/new.png' );



echo 'Image Converted';  

?>







vertrigo serv

php 5.3.8

php_imagick_ts.dll

Apparently same problem here: http://valokuva.org/?page_id=50

I can get it loaded, phpinfo displays imagick information, but when trying to read an image Apache crashes.

Any idea about this problem?
