I can confirm that it has not been fixed in 0.9.2.9

Same issue here!

Same error with WP 3.4.2! Had to roll back to 4.2.5

When I run the script, I have the following output:
(it seems that image creation is fine up to 2200×1650, which is fine since I only use 800×600 pictures)

*** SCRIPT START ***
	debug test.php> initialize

This script demonstrate the Memory-limit failure of the current 1&1 Server. The Script should create 6 images with imagecreatefromjpeg(). But the PHP/GD hosting of 1&1 stopped the creating of images much earlier... and do not return any error message. This is reported in a Apache/1.3.34 Ben-SSL/1.55 PHP/4.4.8 environment.

My blog runs on a 1&1 server

Thanks for this fast reply. I already checked this, as I was used to these limitations on another blog. All settings are OK, pics are 800×600 for 40MB memory on the server. So I don’t have any memory limit or current memory usage issue .
As I explained, if I deactivate GeoPress plugin, thumbnails creation works fine! Thumbs creation seems to hang while the page tries to connect to virtualearth server. But I don’t know why thumbs creation page tries to access this server.
