Description of problem:
Hi. I am running Core with 128 MB of RAM which is rather low, but I
think sufficient. 

However, in lomount.c , part of losetup, 

this fails with ENOMEM:

#ifdef MCL_FUTURE
        /*
         * Oh-oh, sensitive data coming up. Better lock into memory to
prevent
         * passwd etc being swapped out and left somewhere on disk.
         */
                                                                     
                                                       
        if(mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE)) {
                perror("memlock");
                fprintf(stderr, _("Couldn't lock into memory,
exiting.\n"));
                exit(1);
        }
#endif

causing this:
[root@cobra mount]# free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        127096     119556       7540          0       6416      53872
-/+ buffers/cache:      59268      67828
Swap:       512024      64616     447408
[root@cobra mount]# ./losetup /dev/loop0 /initrd2
memlock: Cannot allocate memory
Couldn't lock into memory, exiting.
[root@cobra mount]# ls

causing mkinitrd to fail

causing new-kernel-pkg to fail

causing me to not be able to install a new kernel properly, which
sucks, because I can't test SElinux :)

So - what should be done. I hope the answer is not "get more RAM".
