It will help if you can provide a specific use case for graceful failure. A segfault/dereference of NULL pointer provides a very specific exception for this general case, and 'recovers' neatly from a process which has simply consumed far too much memory. There are very few alloc exceptions which are recoverable a multi-client application. But if you can illustrate a few, the community is happy to evaluate your examples, which is what Jeff has politely suggested to you.
