The shell limits were set to 1024.  If I ever convince the
build system to give me back an image, it'll be fixed in the
release.

We never fixed a problem with the livecd tools crapping out
occasionally after getting confused about which kernel it
should be installing into initramfs.   Nor did we figure out what  
exactly
triggers it.  It is no factor I have been able to modify - build  
machine,
kickstart configurations, time since boot, permissions, presence of
other kernels in the repo, etc).
I will be moving the build system to Fedora 8 to see if that fixes it.
