I wrote a script to test syncing under low memory.
I expect to modify and force-push this, and thus it should not be
considered stable.

This is alpha quality, and you should read and understand it before you
run it.

So far, it does one sync, with -ignorearchives.   My current belief is
that unison uses very little additional memory on the local side when
doing this.

I was able to provoke some segfaults with really unreasonably low
amounts of memory.

It is likely that problems people have are operating differently, such
as actually reading archive files.

I'm posting about this here because in order to make progress on 'unison
runs out of memory when I do X' we're going to need to be able to
reproduce that and this is a framework where that could happen.  But if
you want to write your own script, don't let me stop you!
