Re: Testing for ASDF 3.3.2 and beyond?

Often failures in cl-test-grid are "just" the result of using too little memory,

not little memory, but SBCL's conservative (i.e. imprecise) garbage collection - it doesn't always recognize that an object is a garbage.

I saw cases where CCL compiles a project under a 100MB heap, while SBCL reproducibly runs out of 1GB heap.

or batching system loads,

There is no batch loading, each test is run in a fresh CL process.

or some other reason, and have to be retried.

I would put it differently: some failures may be ignored because on the previous version they were successful by a chance, and could faile the same way too.
