ImageMagick 6.5.1.0 breaks TIF to PS conversion

[randalla]

After upgrading to ImageMagick 6.5.1.0 we lost the ability to convert TIFs to postscript (PS) correctly. The .ps file produced only contains the bottom left hand corner of the original TIF document, which is blown up.

I reported it on the IM forums, with examples here:

http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13791&start=0

The only cure to this particular issue was for me to downgrade to 6.4.8.3, which I did by masking the 6.5.1.0 release in the /etc/portage/packages.mask file.
