[oe] "opkg install ncurses-terminfo" needs 1GB of memory

[Stanislav Brabec]

Hallo.

While trying to do "make upgrade", opkg failed on ncurses-terminfo. It
ended with dead swapping or being targeted b y OOM killer.

Trying to proceed, I added swap to get 800 MB of virtual memory. The
result was 30 minutes of swapping and failure - ipkg fails on "fork
failed" error. I don't know, whether 1GB would be enough, but it is
surely far more than one would expect from package manager for PDA
device.

Does anybody else see this regression? I have 822 packages installed.
