includes/Image.php uses the shell_exec -function resize images, which doesn't work if safe-mode is on. I replaced this with exec, and resizing images started to work. (convert -command is in safe_mode_exec_dir)
We've explored this kind of thing before. The problem is just that safe_mode is inherently broken; exec()'s behavior is different under safe_mode and becomes very unreliable: "With safe mode enabled, the command string is escaped with escapeshellcmd(). Thus, echo y | echo x becomes echo y \| echo x." This will of course bork up the properly-escaped shell commands, so various filenames would stop working. PHP 6 is removing the broken safe_mode option, so keep in mind it's unsupported.
