Are you running on a VPS? Do you have the yum-fastestmirror plugin
enabled? If so: mysql *and* yum (with fastestmirror) take up quite a few
threads on your system. Many vpses limit the number of threads which can
be run in a vps instance.

Try turning off yum-fastestmirror and look if yum works again.

Cheers,

Ralph
