Details:

I tried two running imread(.) on two versions of Octave: in 3.4.0, I get the
following error message:

error: imread: invalid image file: imread: image reading capabilities were
disabled when Octave was compiled

Since I don't know how to fix that (I searched for a solution but it was
overly complex, as I would have to compile the project myself and manually
enable GraphicsMagick) so I tried the 3.2.4 version available from Macports.
There, I saw a different error:

Assertion failed: (semaphore_info != (SemaphoreInfo *) NULL), function
LockSemaphoreInfo, file magick/semaphore.c, line 525.
panic: Abort trap: 6 -- stopping myself...
Abort trap: 6


This happens independently of the parameter I pass to imread (naturally a
valid image file). I tried to follow previous bug fixes but they seem similar
but not the same as  this one. I am calling this function immediately after
starting octave.
