A test decorated with :func:`~test.support.bigmemtest` now runs in a
2+
subprocess if it really allocates the memory it asks for (that is, if the
3+
``-M`` option is used), so that the memory it uses and the address space it
4+
fragments are released when it ends. A dummy run stays in the process. The
5+
separate memory watchdog process is no longer needed: the parent process
6+
watches the memory usage of the subprocess.
