me, relevant on jpeglossless plugin. 

IM exception are inherit from C++ exception class, but is incompatible with 
Qt/KDE exceptions rules. Try to use it crash the host.

To fix this problem, C IM API need to be used instead C++ API. This suck 
roally...

But exception problem is not the reason to use IM command line program instead 
IM API. There is a big problem with IM tiff codec and kfileplugin tiff 
parser, relevant of libtiff exception management. This crash the host with 
any tiff/ep files generated under win32 by pro-photographer program. Look my 
messages in this room archive about jpeglossless plugin.
