I don't understand what Sturla is getting at either...are you saying that you can't rely on the C++ exception type (std::bad_alloc or whatever it is?) and translate that to MemoryError? I think one would translate a catch(...) to a RuntimeError (or a subclass) At any rate probing will never work, the failing allocation *could* be that a 50 GB buffer was requested (in fact that's when it is extremely convenient to have a stack trace).
