#299 -resize with @ and > in geometry specification

[David N. Welton]

I'm encountering some behavior that I don't quite understand:

$ gm identify /tmp/image-4d8d709b-39f7-4dd4-be94-782d65b087c8_visible.jpg
/tmp/image-4d8d709b-39f7-4dd4-be94-782d65b087c8_visible.jpg JPEG
3680x3288+0+0 DirectClass 8-bit 7.5M 0.000u 0:01

$ gm -help
GraphicsMagick 1.3.18 2013-03-10 Q8 http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/

$ gm convert -resize '5000000@>'
/tmp/image-4d8d709b-39f7-4dd4-be94-782d65b087c8_visible.jpg
foobar.jpg
$ gm identify foobar.jpg
foobar.jpg JPEG 2365x2113+0+0 DirectClass 8-bit 500.9K 0.000u 0:01

So it has made the image smaller in terms of the number of pixels, as desired.

With a freshly downloaded and built 1.3.21:

$ ./utilities/gm -help
GraphicsMagick 1.3.21 2015-02-28 Q8 http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/

$ ./utilities/gm convert -resize '5000000@>'
/tmp/image-4d8d709b-39f7-4dd4-be94-782d65b087c8_visible.jpg
foobar.jpg
$ ./utilities/gm identify foobar.jpg
foobar.jpg JPEG 3680x3288+0+0 DirectClass 8-bit 1.3Mi 0.000u 0:01

Expected behavior: reducing the number of pixels like 1.3.18 did.
