Note that there is more than gitlab-CI: We can also run tests on Travis 
(well, hardly anybody beside me is still doing that) or other constraints 
container environments ... so it might be better to check whether enough 
space is available than to tie this to an environment variable (or even 
better change away from /dev/shm if possible like you did in your other 
patch - but I don't have a clue whether that's ok or not for these tests)
