Hmmm PHP5


After I upgraded php and wordpress to 2.7 I started getting out of dynamic memory errors. Here is what I am seeing:

Fatal error: out of dynamic memory in yy_create_buffer() in /path/to/my-blog/wp/wp-admin/post.php on line 12

I upped my memory_limit to 256 to give it more to work with but that doesn’t seem to be enough. I’ll have to dig around in php.ini and on wordpress.org to see if anyone else has run across this.

Yay.
