11.0-CURRENT r290273: installer fails with "out of swap space" error

[Maxim Pugachev]

Well, looks like something is wrong with CURRENT. I just tested
10.2-RELEASE, and everything works fine. So, summing up:

10.2-RELEASE works fine with 2Gb of memory
11.0-CURRENT r290273 fails with 2Gb
11.0-CURRENT r290273 works fine with 4Gb
