[Mediawiki-l] Memory limit in InitialiseMessages (latest SVN version)

[iubito]

Hi, I thought I grabbed 1.6.2 from SVN, but when I install it says

"MediaWiki 1.7alpha"

Before the big fatal error, here are a few warnings :
Warning: file_exists(): Unable to access /usr/bin/gdiff3 in
/var/www/.../config/index.php on line 1412
You should add a @ before the file_exists, this will avoid the error
displayed for each diff3/convert tests.

Now is the serious problem.

Environment checked. You can install MediaWiki.
Warning: $wgSecretKey key is insecure, generated with mt_rand(). Consider
changing it manually.

If I reload, the number of allocated bytes varies (32, 46...). Of course I
can't increase memory limit. What can I do ?
