Recently updated my wordpress website from version 2.5.16 to the new 2.6 build. Since then, activating the plugin leads to a critical error that brings down the site. I tried builds 2.6, 2.6.0.4, and the newest 2.6.1 and all three lead to the same error.
The error logs indicate a memory leak of some sort. Below is an example of the error message I receive.
