the command given above (montage -tile 2x2 i1.png i2.png i3.png i4.png) completes successfully for me with the same ImageMagick version. I didn't see what architecture you're on; I'm on PowerPC. so I am (dual G5, 10.4.8)
I'm on a PowerBook G4 with 10.4.8. Maybe it's a G5 or a dual- processor thing.
Note that the command tiles the images i1.png, i2.png and i3.png, and writes the result to i4.png. right (I missed adding the output file), but apending `out.png' to the command leads to the same crash anyway. Perhaps the crash has to do with the specific images you're using. If you want to send me the images (off-list if you like) I'll see if I can reproduce the crash then. I tried it with several sets of different images (jpg and png) - same result. furthermore I tried the imagemagick version provided by `fink' (ImageMagick 6.1.8): this one runs flawless. so thanks very much for the offer to try out this specific images, but I think the reason is not in the images. maybe something is wrong with my /opt/local tree but I don't see what it could be.
I was going to suggest reinstalling ImageMagick, then remembered that you just upgraded to 6.2.9-8 so that should be ok. You could report it to the ImageMagick bugs mailing list and see what they say. http://www.archivesat.com/list685.htm You may want to wait and test 6.3.0-0 first. I just committed that update, so if you wait 12 hours, then "sudo port sync", you should be able to upgrade.
