Yes, its really an question for me, from one point of view, we should 
catch OOM and move forward to exit(0),
from another point - such things should be handled by test harness. Test 
should have some @tag about 1G memory its used and harness should skip 
test and notify about this if machine memory is below needed.
Maybe there is another right way.
