Subject: Re: Out of memory management in embedded systems

How about just simple solution? Make it possible that "malloc" works
as it was originally intended: return NULL, if memory not available,
non-NULL only if allocation truly succeeded and is guaranteed..

Make kernel configuration option? (e.g. disable "over commit"
mis-feature :-)
