If the possiblity is theorical it' s also doable in practice and you are
really allowed to use the theory to discover a way to cause my OOM patch
to fail.

According to me the OOM problem of 2.1 is not more an issue and you can
convince me that I am wrong _only_ causing my code to fail. If my code it'
s so obviously buggy and obviously wrong, should be trivial for you to
find _the_ way to reproduce failed allocation.

And btw I _only_ had very good report so far.

I don' t agree to add new features to workaround bugs.

If you would send me your patch via email privately (the web is too slow
to be browsed from here...) I would thank you and I' ll take a look at it.
