The status right now is: I have two GIF files which can be shown with
display from ImageMagick (other tools works too), but Emacs 21.1 (and RC
and HEAD too) will crash after

     emacs -q -f auto-image-file-mode picture.gif

Right now, I have two such files. Yesterday, I have digged through
bug-gnu-emacs mail archives on fencepost, but there is only one GIF file,
breaksemacs.gif, but it works perfectly with 21.1 and RC (but was reported
to break Emacs before). Eli promised to send me three similar files
tomorrow. If you have saved some weird GIF or you have GIF which can
SIGSEGV Emacs (and we told that it is bug in libungif version), please,
send it to me!
