wp_load_image() out of memory

[scribu]

On a host with 128M, I get:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 39321600) (tried to allocate 1232 bytes) in .../wp/wp-admin/includes/image.php on line 163

that's 32MB, btw. the host must be ignoring your 128MB value.

I got the 128M value by doing var_dump(ini_get('memory_limit'))

Hmm allocated 39321600 isnt that more like 37MiB? Is it possible the host server was literally, out of memory?

scribu, was this image in excess of 5 megapixel?

Width: 1232 pixels

Height: 1840 pixels

Size: 571KB

Such a small image should not require 37 MB, nor 32 MB nor 128 MB. Is the error reproducible? Can you attach the file for us?

I've tried with several images of similar sizes and they all fail on the live site.

On localhost it works fine, even with larger images. So I'm tempted to think the host is the source of the problem.

Here's the image anyway: ​http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/9527/f1000002.jpg

Is your localhost limited to 32 MB? One thing to try for server-specific issues is to run memory_get_usage() without wp_load_image() and see if the baseline number is unreasonably high.

Can't reproduce anymore.
