[Python-Dev] test_bigmem and test_bigaddrspace broken

Hello, The title says it all. test_bigmem and test_bigaddrspace are partly broken under py3k, and no buildbot ever tests that they run successfully. As an example, here is a test_bigmem run under a 16GB machine. It gets "killed" at some point, probably by the Linux kernel's OOM killer, although I instruct the test suite to only use a fraction of the available RAM. There are also a couple of failures: $ ./python -m test.regrtest -v -M 8Gb test_bigmem == CPython 3.2a0 (py3k, Mar 17 2010, 18:38:10) [GCC 4.3.2] == Linux-a.b.c.d-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv4-64-x86_64-with-debian-lenny-sid == /home/antoine/py3k/py3k/build/test_python_10071 test_bigmem test_capitalize (test.test_bigmem.StrTest) ...
