Hmm, OK.

I can get FreeBSD cores from my 3-thread test app to about 1MB with
some malloc tuning, but I think committing to the main repo won't fly
if we have some operating systems with huge cores. Do you think it's
reasonable to stash large test binaries and core files in some
auxiliary repo or storage location, and have users optionally fetch
them? The test could be skipped if the file doesn't exist or doesn't
match an expected hash.
