Re: cmor: FTBFS on kfreebsd-i386: make[1]: *** [test_C] Error 134

Hi,

| Aborted
| make[1]: *** [test_C] Error 134

That error is from ./ipcc_test_code trying to run (having been
successfully compiled).


After reading about this at:

It seems that test program (ipcc_test_code) needs some 671MiB RAM for
the process image:

$ ./ipcc_test_code
Aborted

$ size ipcc_test_code
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 264737	    832	704260100	704525669	29fe3565	

This is larger than the kern.maxdsiz boot-time tunable allows, which
seems to be 512MiB by default on kfreebsd-i386 kernel 8.2-1-686.  Even
if I skip this test, many other tests have this issue (maybe all of them).


On kfreebsd-amd64, I guess the default kern.maxdsiz is something higher.
 That is why it will *sometimes* build, but it still fails about 50% of
the time (bug #661283).
