This patch fixes 100% reproducible test failures on arm-linux-gnueabihf in our
the build environment chroot, as reported at <https://bugs.gnu.org/26253>,
and now on x86_64-linux-gnu as well. It is a variant of this upstream patch:
commit f5422009389678680dba9ff4ecb7d33632ee3383

tests: avoid false ulimit failure on some systems
* tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: On some systems returns_ may
use more memory, so incorporate that in the determination
of the ulimit value to use. Noticed on ARMv7 with bash-4.4.12,
and x86_64 with bash-4.2.37.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/26253
... which appeared to be insufficient.
