I was guessing the same after reading and looking at the hook, but I figured I needed a better explanation first.

Now that I see the memory error, I am pretty sure we are right. Lets take a look at the code and find out.

There is very little code in it right now. To prove it, i made the smallest possible product, with just an option, and a plugin that tries to modify it - on a vanilla install 4.2.2. I have attached the xml file for this test product.

What I am looking for the shortest plugin code that will save an arbitrary option in an arbitrary product.

And here is the error:

In essence you are calling save_settings() from the save_settings() function. Take a look at "includes/adminfunctions_options.php" #642. You will see your hook is in the same function. The function is looping until it exhausts the memory. There is no need to call save_settings(), because after your hook the settings are written to the database.
