now simply gives a Bus error. the tail of the `ktrace' output reads
... 8300 montage CALL open(0xbfff7778,0,0x30fde0) 8300 montage NAMI "/opt/local/share/ImageMagick-6.2.9/type.xml" 8300 montage RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory 8300 montage CALL open(0xbfff7778,0,0x30fde0) 8300 montage NAMI "/Users/vdh/.magick/type.xml" 8300 montage RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory 8300 montage CALL open(0xbfff7778,0,0x30fde0) 8300 montage NAMI "type.xml" 8300 montage RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory 8300 montage PSIG SIGBUS SIG_DFL
which to me only shows that some file `type.xml' is nowhere found but seems to be needed to procede ...
It is found, exactly where it has been installed (and in the first place montage searches): "/opt/local/lib/ImageMagick-6.2.9/config/type.xml".
It doesn't look like that's where montage searches for it. type.xml exists in /opt/local/lib/ImageMagick-6.2.9/config but the trace above shows that montage is looking for it in /opt/local/share/ ImageMagick-6.2.9
Moreover, if I put this file in '.', the lines before SIGBUS signal a success. So the bus error is not due to this file.
I think I agree... 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. Note that the command tiles the images i1.png, i2.png and i3.png, and writes the result to i4.png. 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.
