Bug
What is the current behavior?
yarn produces javascript heap out of memory issue when upgrading to [email protected] particularly. I have not found it to be an issue when upgrading other packages.
further investigation shows that anything beyond 4.5.0 have this out of memory issue. I was able to successfully install [email protected]

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
git clone https://github.com/fobbyal/yarn-install-mem-heap-issue.git
yarn install
yarn add [email protected]
What is the expected behavior?
yarn installs the [email protected] succssfully.
Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

I started trying to debug into this. Nothing conclusive yet, but just adding some research notes...
Something is going wrong during the hoisting process. yarn is somehow getting into a loop between schema-utils and uglifyjs-webpack-plugin somehow trying to place them like 180-some directories deep nested in each other.
It's weird... I originally thought there might be a cyclical dependency, but there isn't.
Here is a couple iterations of the HoistManifest that it's building:

You can see the repeated package names above, but it does somehow break out to webpack after a while, but will later go back to cycling between combinations of these 2 or 3 packages.
Debugging this is a real pain because any time you step too far, you have to kill the process and start over. But... trying to figure it out...
_additional notes:_
Something seems to be up with uglify-webpack-plugin. I think it keeps trying to hoist it over.
PackageHoister.seed() keeps calling PackageHoister.hoist() passing uglifyjs-webpack-plugin over and over. Each call appends it to HoistManifest.partsand so it keeps pushing that package deeper and deeper into a nonexistent path.
