archive.sh memory issue with yearly reports, works when archiving months separately

[anonymous-matomo-user]

line 75 in archive.sh (from piwik 0.8) reads

for period in day week year; do

but probably should read

for period in day week month year; do

[mattab]

year processes months

[anonymous-matomo-user]

well, in my case, it didn't.

first of all, before i added "month" to the for loop, my monthy reports would run into a "maximum memory size exceeded" error, after adding it and running archive.sh again this error disappeared.

secondly, attached are two outputs of archive.sh, one with "month" added an one without, there is a significant difference in the two outputs.

[anonymous-matomo-user]

Attachment: archive.sh output with month added
archive.sh.output-month

[anonymous-matomo-user]

Attachment: archive.sh output without month (from distribution .zip)
archive.sh.output-nomonth

[mattab]

interesting that it helped to run monthly archives first. It actually makes sense. However, I confirm that in a normal use case this is not necessary.
