 Background:
   IIS 6, PHP 5.2.0, MySQL 5.0.27, Wordpress 2.0.5

 I noticed that I couldn't get into my admin panel...it would just time out
 but the rest of the site functioned well.  After 8 hours or so, I would
 come back and I would be getting a PHP error stating that allocated memory
 was exhausted and cited wp-includes/functions.php line 818.  I restarted
 IIS and let it run over the next couple of days and it would end up
 getting the PHP error again.

 That line has to do with comments (return get_object_vars($_comment);).  I
 hopped in phpmyadmin and there were 300+ new comment spams.  I performed a
 "delete from wp_comments where comment_approved = 'spam';" and that took
 care of the issue for the time being.  I haven't had time to peek into the
 code to recommend a patch.  Just wanted to make the crew aware of the
 issue.
