[wp-testers] Error on automatic update

[juma]

Fixed the problem by changing resource limits in php.ini file to:

max_execution_time = 60
max_input_time = 120
memory_limit = 64M

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.
