[wp-testers] Auto upgrade to 2.8 not working?

[Musing Minds]

I had the stuck on downloading problem with one of my sites. Also the 500 error. Had to go back to 2.7.1 on that site.

Okay, so I upped the limit to 64mb which seemed to solve the 
"stuck" upgrade process. The upgrade took place normally and 
announced that all was successful then promptly gave me a 500 
error when I tried navigating to the Dashboard. Now the entire 
site is down.

I have a "php.ini" file with the php memory limit set to 64mb 
in the root directory, wp-admin and wp-includes directory. I 
should believe that's the proper locations but if there's 
another please let me know.

First time this has ever happened and it seems a bit strange 
that 2.8 should require more than 32mb php memory for an auto 
upgrade since it's not the most involved upgrade that 
WordPress has ever had. Looks like it's all manual from now on.
