8594	Running out of memory when delete an article ...	ixiter	anonymous	".. and throws an error in line wp-includes/class.snoopy.php on line 894.[[BR]]
There are several problems. It tries to allocate $this->maxlength bytes for a file to read. maxlength is set to 500.000 - as good as any other ""guessed"" value. What if the filesize is higher? Usually the filesize is lower. So I patched line 894 and replaced it with:

{{{
// $_data = fread($fp, $this->maxlength);
$_data = '';
while(!feof($fp)){
	$_data .= fread($fp, 10240);
}
}}}

This might be slower. But we can ignore this, since it prevents us from running out of memory in low max_memory PHP environments. Less than or equal to 24MB.
I have no idea what the other 23,5 MB were used for by WP, when I recognized this error?!"	defect (bug)	closed	normal		Administration		normal	invalid
