seems like we should tag the space expensive tests by some specific keyword. Can you submit a patch to bug-tar list? Otherwise, you can use `make check TESTSUITEFLAGS="-k !KEYWORD"` where the KEYWORD can be found in test-case file (e.g. tests/sparse05.at has keyword 'sparse05'). See ./tests/testsuite --help output.
