 * When I go to Tools->Import->Wordpress in my WP configuration, I end up on a white
   screen. The log files reveal that I’m getting the following error:
 * server1 kernel: httpd[8187]: segfault at 00007fff6e0f3fec rip 00002b2c3cab3594
   rsp 00007fff6e0f3fc0 error 6
 * The server is running PHP 5.2.8. Is my best bet to contact the host and ask them
   to upgrade to a newer PHP version, hoping that the problem will go away, or does
   anyone have a better idea? Unfortunately I need the import function badly, also
   I’d have no idea what to do if the host can’t get it done, or the upgrade doesn’t
   fix the problem. Thanks!

 * Contact your hosting provider with a copy of the exact error first and see what
   they come back with.

 * Turns out that this is actually an issue with WP United.
