Limit on size of files ImageMagick can thumbnail?

Hi, y'all. I'm from Zelda Wiki, and we've been having problems with images over 50 MB. I would like to know if ImageMagick is incapable of resizing images this large, because I don't know anything else on the server that could be causing this. I am our systems administrator, so I've been tasked with figuring this out >.>

If anyone can provide some insight, I'd love to hear it. Even if it's "Um, ImageMagick shouldn't have a problem with that." I need to know why this isn't working, and the more I can rule out, the better.

perhaps you are running out of memory or filling the IM tmp directory (often /tmp)

If the input images are jpg, then also see the size hint at
