I'll try and fix this, but it's not that easy: I tried splitting the real_concept tests into 7 parts, but the memory consumed stayed the same (about 400Mb on Mingw), this compares to just 50Mb for msvc :-(

I'll have to look into this some more.

John.

OK, I've managed to get memory usage down to 200Mb with Mingw GCC-4.3, can't at present see how to reduce it further without sacrificing test coverage.

Closing for now, please reopen if this doesn't work for you.

Hum; I guess I'm reopening this one.

The same problem occurs with test_ibeta_inv_real_concept and test_ibeta_real_concept

I still think explicit-failures-markup.xml probably needs to be fixed.

(In [48682]) Split files into smaller tests. Fixes #2307.

For the record: closing this ticket required [48667] as well.
