- test_largefile takes a *very* long time. Perhaps it actually creates a truly large file (the Mac OSX filesystem is case insensitive, so I suppose it may be so different that it doesn't support files with holes in them).

Do you mean that on other systems it does *not* create these gigantic
files??!? I've always wondered what the use was... Hmm, if this test
test support for files with holes, how come that Windows then doesn't
have the same problem as the Mac, it also doesn't support holes in
files, or does it?
