There really ought to be a way to ensure that tests don't go AWOL and eat all resources, though.
Well, one could either pass some +RTS options to ghc to limit its heap via `-M<size>` (which otoh distorts GHC's reported memory stats, and relies on the RTS to correctly enforce that limit), or (at least on Linux, so I'm not sure what to do for Windows buildbots) you can use `ulimit` to impose a memory allocation limit for a process (and its children). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9771#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
