I'm not a roundcube dev, so take this with a grain of salt, but I'd
guess that roundcube just uses more memory. It uses different imap
access libraries, it maintains a lot more state (to give it that nice
desktop client feel), it may very well use a different method to send
mail too (this I'm not sure of). At the very least, it's going to
need 1.5 X attachment size (for mime'ing the attachment, probably
more) + whatever it's normal running size is.

Looks like something else is already using ~10MB of memory, so
when roundcube tries to get 6 more for the attachment, it fails.
At least that would be my guess. How much memory are the apache/ php processes using at idle?

Just out of curiosity, why is this so much more an issue with
Rouncube than Squirrelmail? If an attachment fails in RC I can
always seem to send it via squirrelmail.
