Out of memory error while combining with one large main work

Dear staff,
while combining stray copies into the main work (with thousands of books already part of the work), I have encountered error messages such as:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 251658240 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /var/www/html/combine_lt2.php on line 1008

The latest event happened when I was combining copies into https://www.librarything.com/work/4755814
The works apparently end up combined as intended, but still this doesn't feel like the desired behavior of the system ;-)

That's this bug again: https://www.librarything.com/topic/297855
Once you finish combining two works, the next page that loads is the "suggested combinations" page which for most books is so long it breaks the page.

I see. Bump-worthy, indeed.

Closing as a duplicate. Hopefully we can get to that one soon!
