I agree to Dmitry.
Most case of malloc error, native memory is exhausted.
Thus I think process (or system) is illegal state. It should be shut down.
If do not so, malloc failure might be occurred another point.
However, I think that it is very difficult to set the threshold.
If it can be clear, I will make a new webrev.
Thanks,
Yasumasa
