Insufficient memory (case 4) @ error/jpeg.c/JPEGErrorHandler/297

Post by davidb2002 »

My server was recently updated to ImageMagick 6.7.2-7 2015-07-23 Q16. After this, I have noticed a few large files have trouble running some resizing commands which worked fine previously. Upon catching the errors, I get this:

Code: Select all

Insufficient memory (case 4) /my/image/file/big-photo.jpg @ error/jpeg.c/JPEGErrorHandler/297
I take it this implies Imagick doesn't have sufficient memory to run the commands? here is my resource list:

Code: Select all

File         Area       Memory          Map         Disk    Thread         Time
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 768     21.123GB    78.687GiB    157.37GiB    unlimited        24    unlimited
As you can see, i've got loads of memory. So, where is the memory bottlneck likely to be?

Might your /tmp directory be too full?

Might your server have some limit on file size in its Environment variables?

The "Insufficient memory (case 4)" exception is returned by the JPEG delegate library, not ImageMagick.
