Hmmm...wierd. I haven't seen a problem like this. Sorry, I don't know the solution. Maybe someone else can help you or try going to their support forums. You would get a solution a lot faster there.

You need to get the "Changed Files Only" package. The automatical update requires a VPS or a dedi since it need 134+ MB memory.

it is the memory. Also it is suhosin... Smcadmin told me this on the IRC, that phpBB tried allocating 134 MB RAM and using something called "get_posix" that is blacklisted. It is because phpBB tries to check all files in the install.

If you choose the Changed Files only, it will probably work.

It is a new forum install, not a update.
