FC6 -> F7 upgrade stalls

I'm attempting to upgrade a system from FC6 x86 to F7, and the upgrade
is stalling after installing a few packages every time.

When I switch to a virtual console, I see that anaconda is consuming
100% CPU, and in the upgrade.log the last few lines show assorted
packages with the error:
"Couldn't fork %post: Cannot allocate memory"

This system has 384MB of RAM, so its not starved by any means.  Any
one have ideas?
