I have a C++ program which is "purify" clean, but crashes (called terminate)
when run out of memory on linux 2.4.27. From the core file, the crashes happen
after I throw an exception (after malloc returns null), and the stack winding
was calling the destructor of a large object. What's the genearl guidlines for
debugging, fixing, or at least making it a graceful exit than a crash?

Thanks,
