Thanks Kyle,

What's odd though is RMagick with Ruby 1.8 does work on my 64-bit OS, so 
I think the version of ImageMagick I'm using is OK.  Since there isn't 
an RMagick gem for Ruby 1.9 that's why I decided to try MiniMagick 
instead for 1.9.  But, maybe it will be worth a try to get a 64-bit 
build of ImageMagick or ImageScience and see how that goes.

I also like your suggestion of running the shell commmand outside of 
Ruby as a backup.  I hadn't thought of that.
