The surprising aspect is that the memory *is* being used.
Python allocates 2GB of memory, and then passes this to
read(2) (through stdio) to fill it with the contents of
/dev/zero. This should cause a write operation to the memory
pages, which in turn should cause them to consume actual
memory. For some reason, this doesn't happen.
