I've checked:  test_decimal does not require abnormal amounts of
memory or stack. On Linux/x86 a stack size of 256 (default 8192)
is sufficient, and memory requirements aren't that high.

We assumed that there is some memory limit on the buildbot, since
in a later run test #pwmx330 failed with MemoryError.


The easiest way to debug this is to rerun the whole test suite
under gdb with the same random seed as in
