I'm running my i386 tests in only 32 MB, and I don't think i386
consumes that much less memory.

One thing I recently noticed is that if I manually start a qemu
i386 VM (with -m 32) and run the tests twice, as in

  cd /usr/tests
  atf-run|atf-report
  atf-run|atf-report

the first test run succeeds, but the second one causes a panic.
