Another problem report. IMO, this problem should get some attention from the locale module maintainers and/or the translator community. If you're interested, let's discuss the technical issues on the development mailing list. Begin forwarded message:

I had a strange problem while importing a new po file in drupal 4.6.4/5. Finally, I found the solution [3] : memory_limit should be higher than 8Mb.

The module causing seems to be locale. As it is in drupal core, I think the "System requirements" page [1] should be updated, because the next line isnt really true in my eyes:

"php memory of 8MB for a Drupal core install."

I know there is another web page [2] telling sometimes drupal needs more PHP memory, but I fear the exception had become the rule.

What do you think ? On one side, a 12Mb requirement may scare users, but on the other side, it would help users to avoid problems.
