That seems a bit suspect. What computer are you running this on, and how much RAM does your OS report having? I’m not sure what could cause the RAM size itself to be wrongly reported (as 8 petabytes!) like this, but a [memtest](https://www.memtest86.com/) seems worth running.

(The tests run fine on my computer btw, with an overall SUCCESS result.)
