[drupal-support] I'll try anything

[Dan Robinson]

Thanks to those who responded.  So it looks like there was *not* a 
memory issue after all :(.  I had hit an error, assumed it was memory 
related and when I tried to do set the "memory_limit" higher essentially 
became fixated.  So from what I can tell (and this *is* an assumption) 
it looks like the binary install of MySQL for windoze is built with the 
memory_limit disabled - which means that PHP will be allowed to use 
whatever memory the OS wants to give it during it's invocation.  I'm not 
sure what the root problem I had was - since this morning it all just 
went away :(.  Whatever.

Thanks,

Dan
