Subject: Elogd hangs while uploading bmp attachment 

I'm running elog 2.9.2 on a Red Hat 6.3 server. This installation has been running for some time on a Solaris server, and was recently moved to the RHEL server.

When a user tries to upload a .bmp attachment, the upload never completes, eventually timing out with a proxy error. At that point, the elogd process stops responding to requests and needs to be restarted. Nothing is in the log file other than a "Listening" message when elogd starts up. Png and pdf attachments seem to work fine. I was able to convert an image from .bmp to .png and upload, but that's not practical for my user.

ImageMagick 6.5.4-7 is installed on the server. Everything else seems to be working normally.

Is this a known problem, or have I missed something that needs to be installed on the RHEL server?
