Jython has the same problem as in JDK but it didn't
even give a chance for installing a handler for this
severe error.
Offending code in 
org.python.core.Py.MemoryError

Here something similar to
java.awt.EventDispatchThread.handleException should
happen or an ability to set a handler should be provided.

This would allow a cleaner shutdown and a possibility
to inform the user better.

I'm closing this out because Jython no longer System.exit()s on a 
MemoryError
