No. That is not solving the problem, its only hiding the consequences of the 
problem.

My advice: iterate trough the contributions: statr with none, see if the 
problem occurs, switch one (or two) on, see again etc. A lot of work.

If you are a bit more PHP savvy, i'd advice to read trough the code. I see  
several modules wich I refuse to deploy on my hosting system / servers for 
reasons ranging from 'very ugly code' to 'badly designed interfaces'. It 
would really not surprise me to find that several modules simlpy load ALL 
users from the database and then walk trough them in php o_O. You see this 
kind of mistakes a lot in contribs. Don't think that because Drpal is well 
coded, the people that use it are good coders too.
