Comment #13 on issue 3060 by [email protected]: V8 3.23.1 and later do not honor v8::V8::IgnoreOutOfMemoryException()
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3060

What's the point of assigned heap limits if there's no recovery path? Why even have isolates if a trivial script can take them all down at once? Where's the isolation?

It's true that process-wide OOM can justify process termination, but V8 is way premature, and a bit reckless, to kill the process when a script fills one isolate's heap. The most it should do is lock out the isolate and return an error to the host.
