Whenever I select the Administer / Site building / Themes menu while logged in as admin, I get a blank screen, with the browser's 'View source' showing nothing.
I can use all the other Administer sub menus I have tried, including the apparently difficult for some installations Administer / Site building / Modules and the Administer / Site configuration / Administration theme one
Apache's log file:
[my ip] - - [23/Sep/2008:12:39:53 +0100] "GET /admin/build/themes HTTP/1.1" 200 5 "http://[site]/admin/build/modules" "[my browser and OS]" 2
(Request the /admin/build/themes page, 200 OK, but only five bytes sent taking two seconds to process...)
Compare:
[my ip] - - [23/Sep/2008:12:49:59 +0100] "GET /admin/build/modules HTTP/1.1" 200 18713 "http://[site]/admin/build" "[my browser and OS]" 2
(Request /admin/build/modules, 200 OK, 18,713 bytes, two seconds, and followed by about twenty requests for CSS, JPEGs etc)
It's Drupal 5.10 recently upgraded from 5.3 and I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I can't remember if this menu item was working before the upgrade.

Thanks - the memory limit is at 16M. I've tried increasing it to 20M with no effect.
Nothing else on the other page is crying out as being the problem. It turns out that the currently intalled (third party) theme's template.php file has a closing ?> but editing this out has no effect on this either - do I need to get it reloaded (and if so how?)

To make sure that is not the problem, try temporarily a core theme or 64M memory.

Possibly stupid question: how do I change the theme without using this menu?

Look at the comments at the end of the sites/default/settings.php file, about the $conf array. Make sure that your temporary change is actually saved, because that file may be write-protected by Drupal.
