Hello Lee,

Might be that the script is timing out on the server. Check server timeout
and memory settings. It might one of these that is causing the problem.
Possibly a different version of the GD library and PHP is running the both
places.

You could limit functionality based on the image size. Like if it is too big
then dont do it and return to the caller.

You could save the original into the database and then generate the a
thumbnail when requested.

Hope these suggestions help.
