For any who are interested, I ran a quick test on fresh installs of 7.8
and 7.9 on an amd64 machine:

7.8 uses 267MB of space in /usr to do reorder_kernel.
7.9 uses 279MB of space in /usr to do reorder_kernel.

If you have much more space than that in /usr and reorder_kernel is still
having trouble I would guess that memory is the problem. And if it's not
using swap then it might just be a thing that needs real memory instead
of virtual memory.
