Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] master-1.10 out-of-memory fuzz failures

There have been plenty of fuzz failures from the 1.10 branch in the past few months, including:

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11050
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11065
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11077
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11090
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11094
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11150
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11239

All of the captures associated with those bugs run fine for me. The last one's error:

/home/wireshark/builders/wireshark-1.10-fuzz/fuzztest/build/.libs/lt-tshark: error while loading shared libraries: libwireshark.so.3: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory

really supports the theory that it's not the software that has the problem but the buildbot itself.

Is there something wrong with the box?

In the mean time I'll close all those bugs as WORKSFORME.
