1
+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.
