Out of Memory Exception at End of Backup

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Running FlyBack 6.5.1 for the first time on Ubuntu 10.10.

Towards the end of the backup, I got a malloc failure and an exception is 
thrown.  However, the exception doesn't seem to be caught properly and FlyBack 
just sits there.

    backup.backup(gui.uuid, gui.host, gui.path)
  File "/usr/share/flyback/backup.py", line 274, in backup

On killing and restarting FThe backup seems to have worked, though I haven't 
tried restoring any files.

Andrew
