 * So, I upgraded WordPress yesterday and I upgraded the gallery today – per the
   notifications. (can’t get the gallery version because of number 4, below)
 * I have not loaded a new gallery or new images in a few weeks, so I am unsure 
   when this issue started occurring…
 * 1- Lightboxes in the admin are screwed up. The screen goes grey. The lightbox
   FIELDS are present on the screen, but not selectable via the mouse… I can tab
   between them and use <CR> to select them.
 * 2- The new gallery and upload images fails every time. It created the gallery
   in the admin, but did not create the actual directory nor create/upload any files–
   even though it SAID 100% complete. I manually created the directory and uploaded
   the images via ftp and used the import from directory command…
 * 3- the create thumbnails fails, every time. Since the lightboxes are screwed 
   up, I can’t easily get to the “more” info regarding the failures… but at least
   once, it said that my system ran out of memory.
 * 4- after the last attempt, I am now getting notified by my host “Unable to start
   a new process”
    So, basically, the gallery has killed my entire site due to having/
   running too many queries….
 * What the heck is going on and when will it be fixed?

 * confirmed that reverting to 2.0.17 fixes the lightbox issues in admin (problem
   existing in 2.0.21 and 2.0.23)
