Description:
------------
PHP 5.2.1 (manually downloaded, extracted and copied to working directory) fails to start either as a CLI or as an Apache module; Apache fails to start also (though this may be a side-effect of something else).

Installation was through exactly the same installation process as earlier upgrades (e.g., 5.0.x => 5.1). php.ini is being parsed (one early attempt at the below reminded me to turn off a third-party extension with its "Failed Loading" message).

Downgrading to 5.2.0 (through the same installation process) works successfully. Installing 5.2.1 side-by-side with 5.2.0 in another directory has the same result as below.

Reproduce code:
---------------
From the command line:
c:\> php -v


Expected result:
----------------
PHP 5.2.1 (cli) (built: Feb  7 2007 23:19:16)
Copyright (c) 1997-2007 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 128 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 8192 bytes) in Unknown on line 0

(I said "edit"). Earlier upgrades included 5.1.6->5.2.0.

Open your php.ini, find the line looking like this:
    memory_limit = 128
and change it to this:
    memory_limit = 128M <-- notice the "M" here.
"128" is 128 bytes
"128M" is 128 megabytes.

Close; the line in php.ini actually read

memory_limit = 128MB      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

So 5.2.0 doesn't mind the 'B', but 5.2.1 does.

Memory limit was not enabled before 5.2.1.
