What's Wrong?

code wrote a pytest that looped forever. over about 30 seconds of running, it exhausted 64G of ram plus swap and got killed by the OOM daemon. I don't know what information CC was collecting from the run. I don't have the exacxt looping code that caused this case, but the failure mode should be reproducable.

What Should Happen?

CC should have memory controls when running tests.Rather than OOM, it should terminate, collect the data and use that to find the bug. The simple time limits on the bash command is not enough.

I wish I had the specific code that produced the error. If I had been thinking I would have captured the failing code...
