In short: WordPress is operating with a maximum of 32MB of ram(As set by php.ini / WP), During the unzip process (WordPress relies PHP-based unzipping class - pclzip) WordPress ran out of free memory in that 32MB.

Pclzip requires a lot of system resources, unziping files with PHP is not exactly efficient memory-wise(Or speed-wise), but on many hosts, there is no other choice.

What needs to be investigated, Is if theres an alternate method that can be used, or if WordPress can increase the memory-limit on the fly during the unzip process if it notices that theres not much free memory left, Unfortunately, the latter would probably require modifications to be made to the pclzip class.

I started getting this error:

class-pclzip.php on line 4067

on automatic core update at version 2.7-beta1-9493. Does anyone know
why that would suddenly start happening?

using PHP 5.2.6, MySQL 5.0.51a-community, and apache 1.3.41 (Unix) on
Liquid Web dedicated.

Thanks,
