It seems to be running out of memory ...

This is a regression.
With nodejs 21.7.2, the test uses only normally expected amount of memory,
/usr/bin/time ./node21 test/parallel/test-buffer-failed-alloc-typed-arrays.js (node:15146) [DEP0005] DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues. Please use the Buffer.alloc(), Buffer.allocUnsafe(), or Buffer.from() methods instead. (Use

basically, 20G vs. 50M

The test tries to allocate a buffer of size 1e10. This used to fail but is now possible after a V8 update.
Looks like changing this to 1e20 will fix this issue and keep the test around.
