outside of programming there is the concept of having a secret backup ("nest egg"). Would'nt it be a solution to preallocate some bytes on startup for really, really bad times? As "really, really bad times" this kind of memory error would qualify. So there should be made a special case "if you are out of memory, to handle this out of memory error, use the preallocated bytes from the secret backup you made on startup".
