Up until recently, I have had no problems uploading photos, etc. Coppermine has worked like a charm. Recently I have been experiencing the following error when trying to use the "batch add photos" option from the Admin control panel. My installation of Coppermine is used in conjunction with a Joomla site, but IS NOT bridged.  Here is the error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9152 bytes) in /.../public_html/Coppermine/include/picmgmt.inc.php on line 262

Where should I start looking for the problem?

Try removing all of your "new" pictures, and then with a known picture (eg a copy of one you already have in your album) try again. I had this happen when a damaged picture was included. If it works with the known picture then all  you have to do is to find which of your new pictures causes the problem. in may case it was one which slipped throgh the net with an .eps extension and not my standard .jpg type.

In my experience the presence of Joomla is not a factor here.

1. Read the documentation first!
The documentation that comes with coppermine should answer most newbie questions.
It is mandatory to read the documentation before being allowed to post a question in the first place. If your questions shows that you haven't read the docs, you will probably only get a short answer that contains a link to the docs.

I do appreciate the link to the documentation, however, I had already read the document you specified.  We had done some reconfiguring of our php on the webserver, not realizing that the Memory Limit had been returned to the default 8MB.  After posting the error and question, the other Admin submitted the list of changes/updates done, which pointed me to the reason for the error.

So the issue has been fixed?
