Hi, and thank you for the quick reaction :-)

In this  case, the one described above: I simply select the RAW files I want to
convert (which I downloaded from the camera), and I add them to a new queue.
Once in BQM, I adjust RAW opening options (nothing special: AMAZe filtering and
leave most other options as default - have checked using Bilinear with the same
results...), then add a single process step consisting on the "Convert to PNG"
tool. 

I do this because I prefer to batch-convert all RAW files to PNG first, then
edit every PNG one by one. I used to do that using old "Batch RAW converter"
tool, but now this one has gone, as it has been replaced by BQM (which totally
makes sense to me, anyway). However, I'm finding this unexpected problem. IIRC,
the old tool was not processing files in parallel, so that might be the reason
this problem arises now.

It might be something related to specific versions of Digikam, libdcraw, etc...
packed in Fedora 18.
