Never (i)gnore 'Not enough RAM' errors.

I think you need to add some directories/files to NOT_TO_RAM.
You're tring to stuff 400MB of files in RAM!

BTW:
I'm about to submit a tmpfs patch in the next couple of days which will
allow you to do this. That's if you do have enough RAM, and don't mind
testing it :)
