I don't think there's anything generally useful Emacs can do here to
detect the situation -- Emacs can't know whether the machine is running
out of memory one way or another.  (For instance, it may be in a VM and
the host is running out of memory.)

So I don't think there'll be any progress in this bug report, and I'm
therefore closing it.
