Occasional CRAN ERROR when compiling vignette with pandoc on MacOS (x86) probably due to low memory

Only seems to affect MacOS x86 CRAN machine
This ERROR was gone for a while but seems to have returned
Web searching the "error 127" suggests the CRAN checker doesn't have enough memory
In 2017 I sent an e-mail to Simon Urbanek suggesting he set the --no-vignettes (no response) for the relevant machines
I've not been able to reproduce this on the OSX machines using Github Actions (or previously with Travis CI)---the vignette always compiles fine
CRAN output:

Version: 1.7.4
Check: re-building of vignette outputs
