#               http://www.perlmonks.com/index.pl?node_id=275665
# Purpose : Find out how to get a process to die gracefully when
#               it believes it may run out of memory...
# Notes   : This should prob be a module...
#
#           I tried to use an exit and was forced to use POSIX:_exit
#               routine instead. Do a "perldoc -f exit" to see why.
#               pay particular attention to this section:
#               "The exit() function does not always exit immediately"
#               It was news to me! 
# Bugs    : No bugs, they are all intentional features!
#           Assumtion that everything is a-ok at startup and
#               prior to first memory check.
