testsuite not in GHC 8.2.1-rc1 source tarball ?

[George Colpitts]

Are there any guidelines on how much memory is required to run the tests?
On my Mac I have 12 GB of RAM and a few hundred gigabytes of free disk
space. The first time I did


   - make THREADS=4 test

and I got a message


   - Your system has run out of application memory

so I reran with

   - make test

and left it running unattended. My machine crashed about an hour later.

Thanks
