Comment 21 for bug 695842

The out-of-memory error must have been transient, then; I guess we chalk that up as unreproducible.

I don't know how your system works, so I can't say what will or won't be clobbered. I can say that you aren't going to get a different newer version of grub-installer, though; the next version to enter lucid-proposed (after 10.04.2) will contain my patch.
