I need to raise my memory limit as an upgrade of Gallery2 is failing due to running out of memory.

I've increased the memory_limit in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini to 256M but something else is preventing this from working. Running phpinfo() shows the following information (among other things):-

Loaded Configuration File       /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini 
additional .ini files parsed    /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/gd.ini,

So, what's reducing the "Local Value" to 24M? There's nothing in those other "additional .ini files parsed", has apache2 got some sort of limit of its own somewhere? How can I find what's limiting it?

OK, silly me (well silly gallery2 installation actually), there's a .htaccess file in the gallery2 installation with memory_limit 24M, grrrr!
