This new test fails for me unless I increase max_processes. 1024 works.

I haven't bisected the number of prcesses ... This is higly system
dependent. I even run a slim environment (i3wm) but having chrome or
such running probably makes quite a difference.

512 is probably OK in CI in an isolated environment but is too low on a
typical "What you mean I'm not working? I'm waiting for the test run!"
developper workstation.

Conversely, which number would be too high to catch what the test is
supposed to catch? Does it incur a big performance penalty to go as high
as possible?

That empty line abobe makes me nervous, especially when a test fails for
very unclear reasons like here. Is it necessary?

If the answer is "to separate setup and test" then the solution is to
separate setup and test ...
