Add --disable-openmp to the configure script command line and rebuild and
reinstall ImageMagick.  If you installed from Mac Ports, use the
MAGICK_THREAD_LIMIT environment variable set to 1.  To only use 1 processor
all the time, set MAGICK_THREAD_LIMIT inside the policy.xml file.

If the problem is memory contention, you can add -limit area 80mb to your
command line to force the pixel cache to disk rather than memory.
