I don't agree.
The world - where the program runs - is undeterministic.
Program must adapt itself to various circumstances including lack of
resources. Let's say I have N message buffers in a pool. What if
there is no more free buffer?
Running out of memory is just a situation what the task must handle
if necessary. This is their problem, not yours.
