[support] So fed up with Drupal 7

Thanks
I switched display_error on and html_error on and now have the ever 
faithful.....
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to 
allocate 3759910 bytes) in /var/www/html/eal/includes/cache.inc on line 463

So at least I'm back to an endemic php memory problem.
So I know that:
  the problem exists on 3 different OS installations,
Is php related because all  systems have the latest update of php.
Is virtually identical on each
That  it occurs in the same drupal site copy installed on all 3.
I am suspicious that it is an underlying problem with token module 
because under some circumstances token keeps on regenerating tokens, 
filling memory to the pc's physical limit, not the php limit. This can 
be witnessed in Firebug.
The WSOD also happens when drupal doesn't correctly read some field in 
the database.

To switch of token module requires several other modules to be disabled, 
thus affecting the site so it's not a good option.
  Back to square 1 and am still puzzled.

Thank you for any and all assistance
Roger
