Summary:                    ctest crashes with large output
Description: 
I ran into a case where the software being tested was misbehaving, and it was
printing out large amounts of text (around 2 GB).  CTest cannot handle that
amount of text and aborts in cmCTestRunTest::CheckOutput() where ProcessOutput
overflows.

It would be nice to have ctest not abort so a submission to cdash can help
identify the problem.
Perhaps it could recognize the large output and kill the child process, if it
can't read any more output from the child process.
