[wp-testers] Error on automatic update

[DD32]

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.
