Testing the first snapshot exposed several problems, and most have been addressed. The sole remaining problem is the failure of an "expensive" (not run by default: big-match) that makes most systems run out of memory. I haven't looked at it yet.
Shouldn't the big-match test just be able to see if the system runs out of memory and if so, set an XFAIL.
Also, I suspect that it might work on lower memory systems if the user establishes a temporary swap file of sufficient size. It would, of course, be slow.
