v1.3.41 PerlMagick montage.t fails completely
Swiss army knife of image processing

As reported in an email by Petr Gajdos on August 24, 2023, the PerlMagick montage.t tests are all failing. Investigation shows that the computed montage geometries are different. For example, the MIFF files written say 'montage=50x68+0+0' rather than the expected 'montage=50x50+0+0'. The montage tiles are therefore written with the wrong size/spacing.
The consequences of this bug are large (and unknown) since it has to do with Geometry specification parsing, which was worked on in the 1.3.41 release cycle.
This is fixed by Mercurial Changeset 17179:91afa18a6161. The issue is not as concerning as originally assumed.
Thanks!
