We generally ignore memory allocation errors of all kinds in the server
and APR. The general thought has always been that if you are actually
running out of memory or stack space, then your computer is hosed
anyway, and you are going to seg fault. Why can't we follow the same
rules here?
apr_palloc can be told exactly how to die, the platform malloc and alloca
are different beasts altogether.
