  1. Memtester output messages like:
  2. "Allocated 61569920 bytes...trying mlock...failed: insufficient resources."
  3. are *NORMAL*.
  4. According to the documentation, malloc errors mean that memtester is
  5. encountering difficulty allocating the given amount of memory for
  6. testing (presumably because it's in use). It keeps trying, reducing the
  7. memory size (or trying a different block) until it is able to allocate
  8. that memory block size to testing and proceed with its tests.
  9. Multiple instances of memtester can be run in parallel to provide full
  10. coverage of memory.
