  I have no idea what your script does, how it does it, and why it's a
libxml2 problem honnestly. If you can expose this as a bug when building
libxml2 with the existing configure/makefiles provided i can look at it.
if it's an assumption on your part about the amount of memory used to
run 'make tests" well I guess you need to revise the assumption, though
it should not consume that much memory, but larger data testing has been
introduced in 2.7.1 to detect specific kind of problems.
