Uh, does it? With 4G it should raise OverflowError, and not try to do anything else. Could I ask you to try to take a look? :S > As an aside, it turns out the problem with -M being ignored wasn't due to me > being stupid; it seems that -j doesn't pass the memlimit on to subprocesses. > I'll open a separate issue for this. Running bigmem tests in parallel doesn't make much sense IMO. You want to run as many of them as you can, which requires that you allocate all memory to *one* test process. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11564> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
