bsmedberg asked me in bug 1011864 comment #17 to file a bug on catching the large OOM cases discussed there already on the DOM level so we can hopefully react in a better way than just OOM-crashing.

See the discussion in that bug for more details.
Wasn't about the OOM per-se, just that we allow the page to request an unreasonable window size:

width=9999999999,height=9999999999

We should cap this at something reasonable before we open the window.
