How? Putting up an alert usually requires allocating memory somewhere, be it
in your application or in the display server.
If we're already out of memory, the likelihood of another set of allocations
succeeding is quite low. Not to mention that, by the time you do run out of
memory, the chances are that the system has been swapping hard for several
minutes. The user will have likely pressed the Reset button long ago.
