== 6.18. MemoryError exceptions from the web interface. ==

Attempts to manipulate a 'large' post in the admindb interface and possibly other web actions like getting a roster for a 'large' list give the "We're sorry, we hit a bug!" response with an error log traceback indicating a !MemoryError exception.

These can be caused by the web server placing a limit on the amount of memory that can be used by a CGI script. This is done in Apache with an

{{{
 RLimitMEM
}}}

directive.

If you are seeing such errors, check your web server for such a limit and try raising it or removing it completely.
