python2.6 crashed with OSError in _execute_child() : OSError: [Errno 12] Impossibile allocare memoria

Crash seems to be happening in update-manager

The error message shows:
OSError: [Errno 12] Impossibile allocare memoria

It looks like your system ran out of memory or suffer of a memory corruption. Is it stil an issue ?

Out of memory makes sense, this usually occurs after a second user logs in,
via KDE's "Switch user", and it is a 512MB system.

It has not been causing me much trouble, had just seen it a few times and
submitted the report in the event that there was some useful information in
it for the project.

Thank you,
