Hi.

I do use the filesystem for VFS.

This is the error message with the exhausted memory error message:

PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 59 bytes) in /usr/share/pear/Horde/Cache/Storage/File.php on line 78,

These errors started appearing when I updated to the latest version, and when trying to update the .procmailrc file.
