was force-killed by the kernel (signal 9) and I was informed that:
If all your process' memory is exhausted, then there is no memory left
for the runtime system for doing I/O and the other stuff you want.
Next, unless I'm on drugs, maybe you should call set_new_handler()
before you actually run out of memory. Just my $0.02.

Trond,
My problem was not that the program was force-killed, my problem was
that the system reserved 500G+ of swap, even though the total size is 4G.
