Old memory bug in anaconda rears it head again - BZ 232862

[G.Wolfe Woodbury]

The out-of-memory bug is back.  Anaconda needs more than 320MB of RAM during a graphical
install to avoid having LVM fail during the format phase.

This is the Dell optiplex GX1 work2 testbed machine.
320 MB of RAM, Pentium II, etc....

I can trigger this on a system with 512 megs of ram.  I honestly don't
think it has anything to do with the amount of ram free, but something
in lvm not being happy.  Since all we can do is exec lvm tools from
anaconda this is somewhat difficult to track.
