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.

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

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.
