out of memory error on 'subscribe to issues page'

i have been experiencing the same thing for a few weeks now. i sent a nice little message to the contact page at http://drupal.org/contact. i'm getting

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 144 bytes) in /var/www/drupal.org/htdocs/includes/theme.inc on line 1106

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 130 bytes) in /var/www/drupal.org/htdocs/includes/database.inc on line 79

I get slightly different numbers:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 152 bytes) in /var/www/drupal.org/htdocs/includes/theme.inc on line 808

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 83 bytes) in /var/www/drupal.org/htdocs/includes/database.inc on line 199

Also, if I type the URL http://drupal.org/project/issues/subscribe-mail into the browsers location bar (instead of clicking on a link from the issues page), I get an error 500 "Internal Server Error"

I don't want to give php more memory just because people create more projects. We'll need to somehow split up the page.

Until that has happened, you can sign up to each project separately, e.g.

http://drupal.org/project/issues/subscribe-mail/event

You can access this link from each projects "issue overview" page.

Moving.

The idea is to split up the page and create a paged version similar to the "node admin" page.

IMHO, the fact d.o has so many projects and yet we refuse to give apache enough RAM doesn't make this a project bug. but i agree that page is hard to use, and splitting it up (based on the project taxonomy an a pager) would be a reasonable feature. however, in that case, this is just a duplicate with http://drupal.org/node/76973.

Yes, behond the error we're getting the page itself is practically useless on drupal.org in any case.

If we don't have a volunteer for http://drupal.org/node/76973, a simple change that might help would be to have subscriptions for individual projects not redirect to the whole subscribe to all projects page but to either (a) a page showing 'my subscriptions' or (b) simpler, just stay on the individual project subscribe form. Then I suppose we could block the page for subscribing to all projects, or have that page be optional via configuration.

Note that you also get an Internal Server Error when you try to subscribe to issues for a single project, i.e. when you go to http://drupal.org/project/issues/subscribe-mail/og_mandatory_group and choose "Own issues". This seems to be because that form submit redirects to http://drupal.org/project/issues/subscribe-mail/.

In other words, everyone gets this error whenever they change their project subscription settings.
