On Fedora Core 6
yum with yum-fastestmirror dies if ulimit for address space
(as reported by ulimit -v) is set and too low.
In my tests 'too low' means anything below about 900MB.
I believe it depends on the number of mirrors - for each one a thread is 
created with a few MB of address space cost.

I am wondering if this is same in CentOS 5 (I have not it installed, so I 
cannot cehck myself at the moment)
