"Unable to allocate enough memory for operation" on x86 when 10 threads are used.

[parona-source]

This only occurs when running an x86 environment in a chroot as there aren't any x86 cpus with that many threads.

Edit:

To clarify this is not a zero-length file issue.

x86-test ~ # du -sh cmake-3.27.9.tar

x86-test ~ # lrzip cmake-3.27.9.tar

This also breaks libarchive, since it calls lrzip with no parameters, and therefore default thread count is used. And it affects all 32-bit architectures.
