Testing for excess allocation

Is there a way to check that a particular test does not allocate to
match memory?  I'm not interesting in fine-grained checks, the
difference is more in the order of 1 GiB with the bug vs 10 MiB
without it.

Using Epsilon with a suitable heap size (fairly low, but with some
headroom) comes to my mind.  Is there a better approach?
