Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to test julia on a machine with
moderately sized ram (say 4gb). The usual "make test" launches all the
threads and takes up full memory freezing the machine. I tried the
following too -

julia> Base.runtests(["all"], 1)

* linalg/triangular maxrss 639.86 MB
* linalg/qr maxrss 731.17 MB
* linalg/dense maxrss 766.48 MB
* linalg/matmul maxrss 819.12 MB
...

* abstractarray maxrss 3048.26 MB
* intfuncs maxrss 3048.26 MB
* simdloop maxrss 3048.26 MB
* vecelement maxrss 3048.26 MB
* blas ^C

I had to stop here as my ram was almost full. I could not find this
issue in the mailing list or github issues. (Perhaps I did not look
thoroughly.) I think this should be considered a bug. Also there
should be a way to run the tests with a single thread using make.

With best regards,
Rajeev
