Memory warning when running the squeak-ci tests on Mac

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to write to the list to say that I experience the following warning printed out to the command line, when running the buildtastic script on my mac. I am running 64-bit Mountain Lion.

mprotect(x,y,PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE): Cannot allocate memory

This may be perfectly fine, and indeed the tests do run, but I wanted to forward this to the list, as a warning about being unable to allocate memory seemed somewhat worrisome to me.

Thanks for your time,

Jeff

There's a test, which tries to allocate more memory then what's available
and checks if it fails or not, so it's okay that you see that warning. Try
running AllocationTest alone to see if really this is the one which causes
the warning.
