Comment:

 Tried with plain docker, and it worked. Tried with plain Kubernetes, and
 it worked. Further attempts with OpenShift failed, then one worked, then
 got `01-index.tar: hPutBuf: resource exhausted (Cannot allocate memory)`.
 So it does indeed appear that the memory issues were coming from `cabal
 update`, and not the 1Tb allocation.

 Apologies for the distraction.
