      As admin on a large site (50k users, 50k courses), if I click an empty day in the calendar, or go to edit and existing event, the modal opens, but I'm shortly greeted with a empty 'undefined' error box. The server respond to the ajax request with a 500 or 503 code. 

      Looking at the logs, I get:

      [15-Nov-2017 17:09:05 America/Detroit] PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /var/www/html/moodlemajor/lib/dml/pgsql_native_moodle_database.php on line 794
      		 
       
      		 
      [15-Nov-2017 17:09:05 America/Detroit] PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12288 bytes) in /var/www/html/moodlemajor/lib/classes/session/manager.php on line 530

      I haven't done any digging into the cause yet, but I assume that somewhere in the code is doing too much with the fact that I am an admin with access to 50k courses, when it isn't needed to show the New event dialog box.

       

      For completeness, the ajax request that causes this error is:

      https://test.xyz.edu/lib/ajax/service.php?sesskey=ZZZZZZZZZZ&info=core_get_fragment

      With a body of:

      [{"index":0,"methodname":"core_get_fragment","args":{"component":"calendar","callback":"event_form","contextid":2836,"args":[{"name":"starttime","value":"1510783266"},{"name":"courseid","value":1}]}}]
