Comment (by mabshoff):
On OSX 10.5 64 bit, FreeBSD 7 as well as Solaris Sparc this overflow test
leads to a segfault/failed test. I am not sure what to do with this test
since the fact that it worked purely depends on the OS behavior for large
allocs.
Maybe making it "optional -- large" or "optional -- $SOME_OS_LIST" would
be a way out of this. Anyway, there seems to be no reliable way to test
the allocation of huge amounts of memory and expect the Sage session to
survive.
Cheers,
Michael
