Because the test asks for 1000 random allocations of average size 250 MByte, no
chance!


The test was designed to test the robustness of the garbage collector, and the
response of the system
to excessive memory requests.

I modified the test to report how much maximum memory was being allocated.

BlackBox used to crash very severely on Windows 7 (only!). The patches
(contributed by Oms, louwy, and probably others) seem to
have reliably fixed that aspect of the problem.


I modified the test to report how much maximum memory was being allocated. This
reveals my remaining problem of only having access to half the memory
on Windows 7 that I expect.

Robert
