Seems like way too much memory considering that only a small number of
objects would be expected to created.
This is probably totally unrelated but I started tracking down a problem
that I was having yesterday where I was running out of memory on cygwin
with virtually every PGE test (nothing else seemed to be affected).
Putting a print (to stderr) in mem__internal_allocate_zeroed, I got
something like this:

I believe that I'd done a proper clean. Anyhow, I did a fresh checkout
(which I rarely do) and that version didn't exhibit the problem.
If this turns out to be unrelated, just ignore!
