Back in SRC days I remember there was a discussion at some length
about what to do in case of running out of memory.  I think the
project was abandoned as people realized it was quite a tricky
problem...

I don't believe PM3 has out of memory exceptions, nor did SRC
M3...?  It's a wild guess but maybe this has something to do with
the Critical Mass modifications for their JVM?
