pix_image crashes on my machine, while loading a jpeg:
don't use pix_image at all in your context, because it has a huge memory leak in it's cache (anyway, the cache is unnecessary ...)
so use pix_multiimage, or pix_buffer, ...
oh ... good to know ... but if it's a known memory leak ... are there plans to fix it? or limit the cache to a finite number of elements?
