Re: [RFA/testsuite] Some feedback about bigcore.exp...

I didn't know about this feature. On my linux laptop (2.6 kernel with
ext3), ls says I get a corefile of the following size: 2014404608.
However, the execution of the test is almost instantaneous, so I suspect
it's sparse too. Is there a way to know the physical size?

However, I also regularly run the testsuite on other platforms,
and it did hurt :-/...
