Description[test] Protect against infinite loops in LiveRange logic.
A subset of the LiveRangeUnitTests (SplitInvalidPreStart,
InvalidSplitEnd, SplitInvalidPostEnd) fail or hang on AIX in release
mode.
These tests fork a child which is expected to crash in
register-allocator code after feeding in bad inputs.
In debug mode, they behave as expected due to hitting a debug assert.
In release mode, however, the tests rely only on the fact that
dereferencing a null pointer will cause a SEGFAULT. This is true on
most platforms, but not AIX. An AIX process has valid low memory
pages mapped for reading and will not fault. Thus, these tests fail
or hang because the child process survives the load from address zero
and either completes (with undefined results) or goes into an infinite
loop.
