profile! call blocks and leaks memory

[kpricorn]

Hi,

I'm using rmagick on OSX to edit jpeg images. Recently I encountered an issues with the profile! (1) method on an image object. The method blocks and memory usage of the ruby process jumps immediately to ~4GB. (see [2]) and I need to kill the process to avoid the system to freeze completely. I'm calling profile! as described in the documentation to remove all profiles from the image.

# Use profile('*', nil) to remove all profiles from the image.
# see attached image
ruby -rrmagick -e 'Magick::Image.read("sample.jpeg").first.profile!("*", nil)'

I tested this with the following versions:

• OSX 10.9.4
• rmagick (master, 2.13.3, 2.13.3.rc1, 2.13.2)
• imagemagick: 6.8.9-7 (installed with homebrew)
• ruby 2.1.2p95

Did anyone else experience this behaviour? I tried to reinstall imagemagick without success. When running the same snippet on a ubuntu vm it works as expected.

The reasoning behind this can be from this post onward and the repository of the fork can be read here.
