Yum is broken. Example:
$ yum list php
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading "priorities" plugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirror.nuvio.com
Traceback (most recent call last):

thread.error: can't start new thread
I have the priorities plug-in setup. I did `yum update` before messing around with 3rd party repositories. The only modules I installed from the 3rd party sties are PHP related. More importantly, if I do `/etc/init.d/mysqld stop`, yum works fine. So it's only failing when mysqld is turned on.
Can someone offer some insight here? Thank you for your time.
