this is per a discussion that we had re: malloc failures and such - the idea
being that if we're running out of memory, we'll start doing things like
skipping images and other memory-hungry activities.

Reporter: can you clarify what exactly is wrong? What Mozilla should do that it
doesn't do?

we are creating a version of mozilla named minimo that will run on extremely
constrained small devices. through some research on browsers for these kind of
devices we have found that one feature they have is to gracefully handle
situations that can exhaust all the available memory.  in such case the browser
on these devices detect a low memory situation and then inform the user that the
page can not be displayed, or the full contents of the page can not be
displayed.  this bug is to a similar feature to the minimo version of mozilla.
