Also I think "expensive" has multiple dimensions (memory and time at least), and depending on the system one may want to run (or suppress) one but not the other kind. For the test in question, it is both memory and cycles hungry, so there the distinction may not matter. But I'd like to raise the question again: Is what the test was added for actually a useful thing to test, at the risk of the test failing simply because there's too little memory available? Iirc the problem was non- graceful error handling. But the test does not check that the error in question now is handled gracefully; it expects that there be no error. Jan
