The "zfobj.read(name)" call is reading the entire file out of the zip
into a string in memory. It sounds like it's exceeding the resources
you have available (whether overall or because the Apache runtime
environment has stricter limits).
You may want to peek at a recent message from me in the "Unable to
read large files from zip" thread, as the suggestion there may also be
suitable for your purposes.
