The same happens here.

I suggest we add something like

  ulimit -m 524288; ulimit -d 524288; ulimit -v 523288; ulimit -t 600

to the script that runs the tests on Unix systems to make problems like
this not break the testing procedure for everyone. (This sets memory
limits to 512 MB and the CPU time limit to 600 seconds. There's no easy
way of limiting the wall clock time taken.) Perhaps, the limits should
be set even lower.
