I retested on my system which is a vista 64 system with 8G Physical RAM of
which about 3 GB was free when I started the operation.

At the start of the operation, the the Peak Working Set is 345 Meg. When the
fill operation is started, it grows rapidly and crashes when the Peak Working
Set reaches approximately 2 GB.

When I open the same spreadsheet in Excel, it starts with a Peak Working Set of
195 Meg. The fill operation raises the Peak Working Set to  485 Meg.

I agree that true out of memory conditions are just that and the app cannot
finish the operation (although letting the user know that it is OOM and
recovering would be a better option than just quitting).

However, the real question for me in this specific bug report is why does this
particular fill operation consume more than 1.5 GB of memory and not even
complete. That is roughly 1K per cell being filled and that truly feels
excessive.

So, maybe this bug should not be written of so easily as an OOM that won't be
dealt with. It might point to an issue with operation taking more memory than
they should.
