reduce color depth to 8-bit, it works, -j, --speed, -q does not matter.

using imagemagick donig similar conversion, manipulating image size and
color depth, seemingly aom or avifenc cannot allocate memory somewhere
larger than 4GiB.
system has enough RAM: 96GiB - 4GiB for GPU.

I cannot reproduce this issue with libavif in Debian Trixie or Debian
Sid/Testing.
As a result, I consider this bug done on these releases. This bug report is also
closed accordingly.
If you could still reproduce this issue on recent Debian Stable/Testing/Sid
systems,
please feel free to reopen this bug report.
Best Regards,
Boyuan Yang
