out of memory

[Mihai Surdeanu]

This is a quote from gc_heap_malloc:

/*
 * If we ran out of memory, a OutOfMemoryException is
 * thrown.  If we fail to allocate memory for it, all
 * is lost.

If there is not enough memory for an OutOfMemoryException, kaffe crashes
with "Segmentation fault" and no message, which is pretty annoying. I see
no reason why the objects needed to throw this exception cannot be
allocated in advance such that kaffe could always throw this exception and
exit decently (if the exception is not caught by the app).
Am I missing something here?
