I think the fix here will be to disable these tests on Linux.  The problem is that Linux does not support VM overcommit, since on x86-64 we need to allocate all VM in a single allocation, we have two choices on x86-64 linux:
(1) commit a huge amount of physical RAM / swap up front
(2) opt not to be able to run crazily huge functions.
I think we have to pick the latter.  Will look at this tomorrow.
