Item2286: This one test uses up several hundred meg and that is only reclaimed at the end of the tests. I am making it run in a separate process so that we can reclaim that memory immediately.

I am not sure what causes the huge memory consumption. There may be a memory leak - I do not know. This is a bandaid so that running the tests is less painful on low-resource machines.
