I once saw that problem on a board that had automatic search for similar threads enabled. It occured only when posting threads that had topics with very common words in it.

The fix we used was to simply disable the feature, but perhaps simply bumping the allowed memory usage in php will fix the problem as well? Or perhaps changing the search index so it doesnt contain as many (short) words?

Edit: D'uh, I need to check the dates of posts before replying..
