It appears that test_unicode::test_raiseMemError was meant to produce a
MemoryError. Unfortunately, on my machine (Linux 2.6.25, 32-bit
processor, 1GiB main memory, plenty swap), allocation *succeed*, and
then brings the machine to a near halt, trying to fill that memory with
data.
IMO, the patch should be rewritten to either reliably produce a
MemoryError (why not allocate sys.maxsize characters, or sys.maxsize//2?),
or else it should be removed. |
