I don't understand why they'd need even that much.

The test that is failing can be run manually by running:

./unit_tester refiner:various_counts

I did that on my machine and looked at top while it was running.  It  
got up to 100Mb (the entire process, executable, libraries and  
data).  So your 256Mb for data alone should be plenty.  (I just tried  
running the test with ulimit -d 256000 on my box and it works ok...)

I don't suppose you have something like "time -l" that you could  
use?  You might need to specify /usr/bin/time so you don't get the  
shell builtin.  That should return the high-water mark of memory  
usage for you.

Be well,
