# bug #17085

refs https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/17085#issuecomment-786466595
with --gc:boehm, this warning sometimes gets generated:
Warning: Repeated allocation of very large block (appr. size 14880768):
May lead to memory leak and poor performance.
nim CI now runs this test with `testWithoutBoehm` to avoid running it with --gc:boehm.
