I too had seen this memory problem before on Solaris/SPARC, but I'm
pretty sure I saw it even when running t/past_node_5.pir directly.
However, trying again today, I'm happy to report that that particular
problem seems to be gone. Of course an awful lot of the tests still
fail, but I don't know if that's expected or not.
Failed 6/15 test scripts, 60.00% okay. 16/41 subtests failed, 60.98% okay.
