I figured you were on this: I just wanted to make sure it doesn't get lost.

I think we should only run this test if _GLIBCXX_USE_LFS, regardless of
the underlying characteristics of the host os.

Probably something like the __enc_filebuf tests.

Yeah, I don't know what to do with this bit. Can't you just use something like

__gnu_test::set_memory_limits

?
