It's showing the whole thing as failing.  I actually suspect that
this is not the case.  I've attached a new version of the
tests/xforms/expressions.sh test that breaks the monolithic test
up into several subtests.  Can you please replace the version of
that file in your source tree with the attachment and rerun the
tests?

I think that this is likely caused by Perl trying to allocate a
lot of memory due to "1...100000" in the syntax.  I've attached a
new version of tests/bugs/big-input-2.sh.  Can you replace the
existing version of that file and rerun the tests?
