The problem of being more graceful when we run out of memory has been
discussed many times and been deemed too hard. The reason is that modern
OSs overcommit memory, so malloc returns something, but once you start writing
to it, you'll get a signal. It was considered too hard to catch the real
cause of the signal.
So, if the cause of this PR is out-of-memory, we should close it.
