Should we decorate the new files with @requires('largefile', '...')? Documentation: largefile - It is okay to run some test that may create huge files. These tests can take a long time and may consume >2 GiB of disk space temporarily. It may be interesting to add an option to regrtest to specify how much space can be used by tests, an option similar to -M/--memlimit which is for memory. I don't recall if largefile is enabled by default on buildbots or not :-p
