 In certain situations, the processing of an image (e.g. via
 wp_generate_attachment_metadata()) can lead to unreported memory
 exhaustion in:

 wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-gd.php
 line: 102
 (public function load() )

 At that point there is the statement:
 $this->image = @imagecreatefromstring( file_get_contents( $this->file ) );

 Since the errors are suppressed, the user is never notified of the issue,
 and the execution abruptly ends.

 This is not a bug itself, but the issue should probably be communicated to
 the user somehow.
