 Replying to [comment:1 dd32]:

 Thanks for the suggestions.  I tried both methods and get 40M for the
 memory_limit using the phpinfo and ini_get methods.  The 256M I saw was
 probably due to the WP Admin change that you mentioned above.

 I tried a little debugging by re-installing WP 3.1.1, and it wasn't
 bombing out.  So I activated a bunch of plugins and was able to get it to
 crash and give this message:

 Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 29622272) (tried to allocate 3096504
 bytes) in /homepages/38/d151202375/htdocs/pixoox/wp-includes/class-
 http.php on line 1426

 So, from that message, I'm guessing it's trying to allocate a total of
 29.6M + 3M or around 32.6M all total.  Is that right?  If so, then you'd
 expect it to be ok if the memory limit is 40M.  (I also put the
 ini_get('memory_limit') in the default-constants.php file after the
 conditional setting of the memory limit that you mentioned above and it
 still showed 40M as expected.

 It's definitely not the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT item.  I didn't see any other
 ini_set('memory_limit') calls in a search of the WP code that looked like
 it would cause it to set it lower than the 256.

 Not sure what gives, but it is a head scratcher for me.  All the same, a
 simple workaround is to deactivate a few plugins and do the upgrade, and
 drive on.

 Thanks again for taking a look.

 Byron
