Stefan Krah added the comment: I've checked: test_decimal does not require abnormal amounts of memory or stack. On Linux/x86 a stack size of 256 (default 8192) is sufficient, and memory requirements aren't that high.
We assumed that there is some memory limit on the buildbot, since in a later run test #pwmx330 failed with MemoryError. The easiest way to debug this is to rerun the whole test suite under gdb with the same random seed as in http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/PPC64%20AIX%203.x/builds/4173/steps/test/logs/stdio ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25276> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
