[Gilboa Davara]

Hello all,

B9 updated to latest running on a VMWare virtual machine with 1GB RAM +
512MB swap.
Running yum update dies on 
Updating: glib2 ...
error: Couldn't fork %post: Cannot allocate memory.

Memory use:
$ free -m
               total      used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           989        980        9        0         4           167
-/+ buffers/cache:        807        181
Swap:          511        405        106

Once yum is killed (and caches are dropped)
$ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
$ free -m
               total      used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           989        235        754      0         0           22
-/+ buffers/cache:        211        777
Swap:          511        188        32

.. In short, yum update is eating >1.2GB of memory in-order to update
282 packages.
