I've been busy rewriting a configuration test script, based off of the one that xenforo supplies; it'll check for limited values for suhosin and some webserver configurations. This file will be available at wiki when I'm done with it and will be useful for users experiencing several issues.
Additionally, some checks added in 7.5.9 and (refined in) 7.6.0 will also provide some information (your particular issue would have triggered the warning in the 7.5.9 control panel)
