This is now flaking many Windows tests and somehow it's relatively recent (starting from May 16 -perhaps something landed around that time made it a lot more flaky). In the latest report https://github.com/nodejs/reliability/blob/main/reports/2025-05-18.md this has failed 17 PRs out of the last 100 CI runs

In #58379, this test has failed 6 of 8 Windows CI runs and is still blocking the PR.

I think it's just the test not being written in a way that's robust enough to skip when there's not enough memory. Fix in #58414
