 Strangely `T10858` seems to pass without any trouble on 64-bit Linux with
 its current expected "bytes allocated" statistic of 241MB. Strangely, this
 test allocates 16% less on 64-bit Windows,
 {{{
 bytes allocated value is too low:
 (If this is because you have improved GHC, please
 update the test so that GHC doesn't regress again)
     Expected    T10858(normal) bytes allocated: 241655120 +/-8%
     Lower bound T10858(normal) bytes allocated: 222322710
     Upper bound T10858(normal) bytes allocated: 260987530
     Actual      T10858(normal) bytes allocated: 203567896
     Deviation   T10858(normal) bytes allocated:     -15.8 %
 *** unexpected stat test failure for T10858(normal)
