As I see it, it is thrown during memory allocation.
The problem with most apps that cause me OutOfMemoryException is that mem is
requested in a certain point (this is a pretty big chunk of memory to request).
There are cases that I managed to run apps with more than 100 meg memory usage ;-}
(but they weren't allocating in large chunks...)
