Comment 9 for bug 374524

Stefan that's not a problem with mozilla that a client should not
be allowed to allocate a large amount of memory. You can get round that by
setting you limit/ulimit correctly in the shell. And anyhow, as i said
in my previous comment - mozilla will not be able to catch this error
of allocation failure since it is handled by the UI library (gtk/gtk2)
which calls exit instead of letting mozilla handle the error correctly.

So what i'm saying is that even limiting your stack in the 'mozilla' script
so the Xserver doesn't consume all the memory, we *still* will not be
able to catch the allocation error and handling it differently unless we
reset the errorhandler with our own one.
