Kolab 2.2.4: Apache crashes when handling attachments > ~5 MB

[nick at netdome.biz]

Please scratch that. My educated guess for PHP/IMP's memory needs didn't
match its actual consumption. ;-)

php.ini.template:
  memory_limit = 128M ; was at 64M.

Symptoms vanished afterwards.

I'd suggest putting a healthy 96M there when first rolled out.

best wishes,
Nick
