Interesting! We try to make sure that RAM builds can start only if enough RAM is available, but I guess there could be edge cases when close to the minimal amount.
Arnaud, how much RAM does your host system have, and which TAILS_BUILD_OPTIONS do you use? Also, please try adding `noram` to TAILS_BUILD_OPTIONS (but first make sure the VM is shut down, e.b. `rake vm:halt`).
