Is this with or without the fix you just pushed? How much RAM does your system have? I tried running with "-M 4.5G" on my 8GB machine earlier today, and it ate through all of my RAM plus 4GB of swap before the OOM killer terminated it. > Do you need these tests using so much memory (and are really slow)? In general, I think it's important to exercise cases where 32-bit truncation issues and the like might arise, because otherwise they'll lie around undetected until they bite some unsuspecting user at an inopportune moment. But I don't know much about those specific tests, so I can't really offer much of an opinion here.
