So I tried to set my php.ini to 2048M and 4096M(setting it to ‘-1’ should be infinite, but a few tests showed that ‘-1’ set’s it to 128M).
“Wordfence Memory benchmarking utility version 6.1.12” reported that it coudnt even allocate 50M of the 90M test. So maybe that plugin is broken?
Setting WP_MEMORY_LIMIT vars didnt do anything, only WordPress didnt work if php memory was set to a lower number than WP max.

I found this simple script online that somewhat measures memory allocation(cant guarantee that it’s accurate. On my windows machine with a memory limit of 2048M this script could allocate 1.3Gb of memory).

<pre>
<?php
function tryAlloc($megabyte){
    echo "try allocating {$megabyte} megabyte...";
    $dummy = str_repeat("-",1048576*$megabyte);
    echo "pass.";
    echo "Usage: " . memory_get_usage(true)/1048576;
    echo " Peak: " . memory_get_peak_usage(true)/1048576;
    echo "\n";
}
for($i=10;$i<4000;$i+=50){
    $limit = $i.'M';
    ini_set('memory_limit', $limit);
    echo "set memory_limit to {$limit}\n";
    echo "memory limit is ". ini_get("memory_limit")."\n";
    tryAlloc($i-10);
}
?>
</pre>

I’ll try to replicate this bug, anything I should keep in mind?
