CentOS 5 x86_32 (may work for x64) VPS YUM Error

 My CentOS VPS was getting this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

thread.error: can't start new thread

The first time I fixed this I typed the following into the command line:

rm /dev/urandom
mknod -m 644 /dev/urandom c 1 9

This worked for awhile but unfortunately the error returned so I did this:

Nano  /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf" and set "enable=0"

Since I have edited that file I no longer have the error
