Enabling CSF causing traffic problems - what have I done?

If I do csf -x and attempt to upload a file then it works, if I enable CSF then the upload drops. I'm sure I've missed a setting somewhere and would appreciate a point in the right direction.

I've diabled ICMP as that was causing issues but apart from that I can't think of anything else in the settings. I've been using CSF for years now and never seen this problem but have checked everything I can think of on the network side.

I don't receive an email message, actually CSF rarely send emails, if at all.

I did see this in the CSF log:

*User Processing* PID:938626 Kill:0 User:*REMOVED* VM:214(MB) EXE:/usr/bin/php CMD:/usr/bin/php /home/vondroid/public_html/index.php

I'm thinking the 214(MB) is referring to a file being uploaded, or I could be wrong?

It seems that you are uploading via PHP.
VM:214(MB) refers to the Virtual Memory used. It could be that in CSF you have set that the memory allowed for a process couldn't be greater that 200MB or so. check your settings on the Process Tracking section.
