#1836: Omit way ghci for test case outofmem2
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------

Component: Test Suite | Version: 6.8.1
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase:
Architecture: Unknown | Os: Unknown
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
The outofmem2 test is intended to verify that the runtime system reacts
suitably to a request to allocate an amount of memory that exceeds the
available heap space. See trac ticket #1791 for additional details.
However, testing this with ghci does not seem to make sense. In any case,
on my PPC Mac OS X, outofmem2(ghci) succeeds and I have observed that this
is true also for a number of other builders.
I suggest to simply omit the ghci way for the outofmem2 test case and I
have attached a patch for this.
Best regards
Thorkil
