".. consisting of a large number of regular expressions .."
I knew regular expressions would be my undoing. Nothing sneaker than
calling something 'regular' when it is anything but <G>
".. a haphazard harmony of edge cases, so it's quite plausible that
parsing a large amount of wiki text can lead to memory limit exhaustion
if you're
doing a large page with a lowish limit.."
Is there a way to up the 'lowish limit'?
"There is a stone tablet somewhere in Santa Ana, which states that a
man shall go insane before he truly understands the way of the Parser."
So .. which of you MW guys are the insane one .. I would hate to guess
<G>
Thanks

This happened after creating/editing 9 new documents. Mostly tables

Ideas why and how to prevent in the future would be welcomed
Large documents, perhaps? Parsing is one of our most intensive
(resources, time) operations, consisting of a large number of regular
expressions working in some sort of organised chaos; a haphazard
harmony of edge cases, so it's quite plausible that parsing a large
amount of wiki text can lead to memory limit exhaustion if you're
doing a large page with a lowish limit.
There is a stone tablet somewhere in Santa Ana, which states that a
man shall go insane before he truly understands the way of the Parser.
