Batch RAW-Conversion to jpg leads to unusable jpg / tiff when using all kernels

[Gilles Caulier]

Strange.

Here i use convert to JPEG with multicore without to break target files.
The goal is to export Sony Raw files on the WEB.

So you minimal workflow to reproduce is RAW to JPG as well, using
multicore. Right ?

If the problem is the same to convert RAW to TIFF, so the problem is
certainly in libraw with multicore support.

To test on your computer : take some NEF and convert to PNG using single
core.
Use BQM and apply your complete workflow to generate JPEG or TIFF with
multicore. If it work, the problem is in libraw.

Now in Libraw the problem can be about a specific demosaicing settings. So
i recommend to investigate step by step with RAW settings to see when the
problem is reproducible.
