It's funny how people resort to different tools to solve the same
problem.  I've habitually used something like:

  dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3D/dev/null bs=3D384m

to solve this kind of problem (sometimes also with count=3D1 depending
on my needs). This happens to work well for the umass case, on my
laptop with 512m.
