Description of my issue:
The problem is with Akeeba "System - System Restore Points" plugin. As you suggested, I disabled it and now I'm able to install extensions again. Note that I already had installed ver. 3.6.1, so it seems there is still an issue with that plugin.

Thanks for your help

Cannot replicate. I personally tested it on a dozen different servers with various PHP versions. I had another half dozen users testing it with their own PHP 5.2 servers before release. Another four users tried 3.6.1 and it solved the problem for them. One note: all of us tried on PHP 5.2.11 or later. It's either a bug with antiquated versions of PHP released four years ago (like the one on your server) or the update to AB 3.6.1 failed. I can't fix something I can't replicate and which looks like it's not actually a bug.
