Sorry, I misread the log file - it actually crashes shortly after
booting the INSTALL kernel, not while booting the installed system.

That was using "qemu -m 32", emulating 32 MB of memory.  If I increase
the amount of memory to 40 MB, the installation gets a bit further,
and with 50 MB, the installation is successful.

A build from 2009.10.29.14.49.40 sources installs with just 24 MB of
memory, so it looks like something gained a whole lot of bloat during
those 24-odd hours (not necessarily /bin/sh itself, though).

It's still broken as of 2009.11.10.18.19.46 (with 32 MB).
