Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 > I would be inclined to just change the line $this->image->setOption(
 'png:format', 'png8' ) to use quantizeImage instead, and then simply not
 worry about the issue with the test8.png image (i.e., just remove that
 test from the test suite). I just think that it's a pretty marginal edge
 case issue


 That makes sense to me if `test8.png` is truly an edge case image and all
 other issues are resolved with this approach. Curious to hear what others
 on the threat feel about this.
