Chris,

I did some more digging on this today, and have developed a fix which
reduces memory to a peak of 53MB on my system, versus a previous
peak of 181MB.  YMMV of course, as memory used is in rough proportion
to number of packages present on the system.

See http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=2315 for the
details.  We'll get this fixed in the next couple of days, I hope.
