Whilst uploading an image I kept getting an error message:
HTTP ERROR:
crunching…
and the image wouldnt upload.
This appears to be a know bug and a few people have a few theories but the one that worked for me was to create an .htaccess file in the wp-admin folder and add:
<IfModule mod_security.c> <Files async-upload.php> SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off </Files> </IfModule> to it.

Hi - nice new blog you’ve got here!
This WP upload bug is painful - truly painful. I use WP a LOT for clients.
The solution you’ve posted above is (or so I’ve read) a big security risk… The solution I’m using currently is the No Flash Uploader plugin - seems to work fine.

It is a huge bug that really should never have happened!
Whilst the security is compromised somewhat by turning the mod_security off in the htaccess file, I am writing up a fix for the code side of things that should take care of any nasties
