out of memory in wp_timezone_choice with hebrew translation breaks the general options page

[mark-k]

I get the following message when I view the source of the general options page

<select id="timezone_string" name="timezone_string">
<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 7680 bytes) in <b>/home/mark/public_html/marksw.com/public/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php(3233) : runtime-created function(2) : runtime-created function</b> on line <b>1</b><br />

The problem goes away when commenting out lines 3218 - 3233 of wp-includes/functions.php

This happened immediately after upgrading from 2.7.1.

See #10125

See the fixes made for #10125. Try out the latest 2.8.1 nightly build to see if it helps.
