Cool.

I haven't read the rest in the series yet, but while it's on my mind I
want to write this down so I don't forget.
Another thing the test harness needs is the ability to set a limit on
the memory size of gdb.
It's a safety net because sometimes changes happen that cause memory
usage to really swell and we don't want to drag a machine into
thrashing just to get through the test.

Using system monitored settings for both cpu and memory usage would be
good (ulimit).
