[issue5438] test_bigmem.test_from_2G_generator uses more memory than expected

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

It seems test_from_2G_generator doesn't respect its announced memory
consumption. I launched test_bigmem with "-M 12G" on a 16GB machine, and
the interpreter process got killed by the OOM killer (Out Of Memory)
while running this test case.
