[magick-users] Access Violation in Magick++ - new Image(char*)

[Bob Friesenhahn]

1) Make sure that you are using a try/catch statement to capture any
   thrown exceptions so that you don't get crashes from
   'unhandled'.  It may be that an error has been reported via an
   exception.
2) If you are using the pre-compiled DLLs from 5.5.1, then Visual C++
   7.0 is required.
3) There is practically no reason to use 'new' with Magick++ Images
   since they are essentially a (managed) pointer themselves.
4) Make sure that your app is compiled using the same options as is
   used to compile CORE_RL_MAGICK++.dll.
