Summary0014613: ctest crashes with large output
DescriptionI ran into a case where the software being tested was misbehaving, and it was printing out large amounts of text (around 2 GB). CTest cannot handle that amount of text and aborts in cmCTestRunTest::CheckOutput() where ProcessOutput overflows.

It would be nice to have ctest not abort so a submission to cdash can help identify the problem.
Perhaps it could recognize the large output and kill the child process, if it can't read any more output from the child process.
