I've had this problem repeatedly for a while now.  PHP bug #40701 
reported at php.net.  I set the php memory limit to unlimited and it 
hasn't fixed the problem.

Try setting the memory limit higher and cross your fingers.

There's a memory fix in the Feb 08 release (PHP 5.2.2), but that didn't 
fix my problem.
