What I did: - create a chroot env to have Wheezy. - the .c file is very different. Wheezy version - Last version. but there is only one call to 'read_image'. I did the patch. - the bug report at github does not provide the file used to reproduce the bug. The .c file is commented line by line. - there are no tests proveded by the upstream. - I ran gifsicle to create a gif animation with two .gif files and ran gifview to see the animation. Options 'n' and 'b'. No problems. - No piuparts errors. Hope that helps. The files are at: https://people.debian.org/~hpfn/ Regards, Herbert
