Maybe I'm having a dense moment, but what does this value even mean?
memory_limit times 10 times size of file then divided by a million?
Is the output actually "2M" ? If you have a 100,000 byte file, doesn't that
mean your memory_limit is set to "2" ? (presumably "2M", turning into "2" after
the cast to int).

That seems like a guess... what error messages do you get? If you can't see
them, change the content-type of the output back to text.

Why would a 100KB image use 2MB? Where did 8MB come from? I'm also confused...
The usual pitfall is that a 100KB image can easily decompress to several
megabytes, and that GD uses even more memory than you might expect.
