I only mention this for completeness of the discussion, and I realize this is 
only peripherally related to the point.

When the OOM killer is striking, setting a ulimit can cause a quicker, and 
nicer failure, facilitating debugging sometimes.

Generally, I've always had misgivings about the "abort is the best error 
handler school", as I call it.  Seems to show a lack of imagination of what it 
might be like to be in other shoes.
