    At the point you hit OOM every possible heuristic is simply handwaving that
    will work for a subset of the user base. Fix the real problem and it goes
    away. My box doesn't OOM, the worst case (which I've never seen happen) is
    a task being killed by a stack growth failing to get memory.
