test_large_N[268435456] and test_large_N[536870913] FAIL on 32-bit architectures about gsd HOT 5 CLOSED

test_large_N[268435456] allocates 3 GiB of memory. test_large_N[536870913] allocates 6 GiB. I suggest skipping these tests on 32-bit platforms.

That's what I did in Fedora package, but I'd appreciate it if you could implement that skipping in the test code. Additionally, /tmp is a tmpfs file system on many distributions (e.g. Fedora), so it ends up filling up memory and causing swapping on systems with 8GB or less memory. Shall I open a separate issue for that?

I do not have access to any 32-bit systems on which to test your suggested fix. GSD is open source and I would gladly accept a fix to this via pull request.

Use the --basetemp argument to pytest to generate test output files in a directory of your choice. See the pytest documentation for more information.
