This matches my expectations:

but good grief this limit is getting high. Maybe we should just
recommend setting it to "unlimited" and run the testsuite that way too?

(But that then raises another obvious question... what happens if this
wastes, sorry, allocates enough space in this hilariously inefficient
allocator that it exceeds the available physical memory? Do we lock up?
It's a real shame we can't suballocate this somehow, but of course we
can't. :/ )
