Juanjo has left a new comment on the post "out-of-memory: a sad case":

The next release of ECL will also feature detection and handling of
out of memory conditions, using the facilities provided by the
Boehm-Weiser garbage collector. The code is currently in an unstable
branch of our GIT repository, but seems to work just nice.
