You're definitely right that applydeltarpm has a *far* lower memory
footprint than createdeltarpm.  But, looking at the original traceback,
it looks like it isn't getting enough memory when it's trying to verify
the sequence.

Having said that, applydeltarpm definitely isn't in the class of "memory
hog".  Reading back through, that's the implication of my statement, so
I apologize.
