Note that (IIRC) an OutOfMemoryError will be thrown only when:
1) There is no space on the managed heap
2) A garbage collection cycle failed to free enough memory for the  
requested allocation
3) The operating system could not allocate any more memory, even from swap.

Some operating systems (Windows) will even expand the swap file  
automatically when it nears being full.

I don't think that there's any point in doing anything sensible in an  
OutOfMemory handler.
