It isn't just a matter of waiting a month or so.  Short of
internalizing yaml production the way we did with JSON, there's
nothing we can do about it.  The 6+ year old yaml library in
RHEL/CentOS 4 has existing, known problems and all the workarounds for
the string length problem just led to other problems.  Options are:

* Upgrade
* Use PSON
* Convince us (meaning Luke) that we should internalize yaml
* Avoid things like templates that produce long strings in the catalog
as much as possible and hope for the best.
