This bug was filed from the Socorro interface and is 
report bp-ef0d5b78-31e2-4fbb-9e65-528d82150515.
=============================================================

This is a top crash on 38.0.1 (by the old metrics at least). Don't trust the stack on crash-stats. It actually goes like:

xul!nsACString_internal::Replace
xul!nsACString_internal::Append
xul!nsXMLHttpRequest::StreamReaderFunc

It's clear that the code is prepared to handle allocation failure. I guess it just needs to make a fallible call.

This looks good to me, though it'd be good to add a test. But maybe such a test would take too long to run?

Leaving it up to Olli if we need tests or not.

I don't know how we could test this reliably. OOM might happen on server side, or if using
data: urls, it might happen while creating the url (either on JS side or in C++)
FWIW, I consider the stability people who constantly watch crash-stats, to be a kind of test :)
I thought about just landing this to fix the bustage, but given that this may be rushed up to beta, another review seemed prudent.

fallible allocation

For some reason this has dropped in volume on 38.0.1 since I filed the bug. If I were looking at the crash lists today, I wouldn't open a bug on this. But we already have the patch and it's an easy fix... relman I leave it up to you.

Let's take this for aurora and beta. This may help us forestall other OOM errors. And, David has defeated the mighty Werror.

This will ride the train from 39.
