I fixed a bug in the 'pristine' mode of olpc-update, as well: I was
doing a naive hash(open(filename).read()) method which could cause a
lot of memory pressure when hashing big files. =(  That might also
contribute to fewer OOMs during olpc-update (unless you're in the
habit of using the -f option).
