   9       tests: avoid false ulimit failure on some systems

  11       * tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: On some systems returns_ may
  12       use more memory, so incorporate that in the determination
  13       of the ulimit value to use.  Noticed on ARMv7 with bash-4.4.12,
  14       and x86_64 with bash-4.2.37.
