Make pygrub cope better with big files in the guest. Only read the first megabyte of a configuration file (grub etc.) and read the kernel and ramdisk files from the guest in one megabyte pieces so pygrub doesn't use a lot of memory if the files are large. With --not-really option check that the chosen kernel and ramdisk files exist. If there are problems writing the copy of the kernel or ramdisk, delete the copied files and exit in case they have filled the filesystem.
