MiMo,
you should get a nil pointer.
But if memory is really short, then I expect OS X allready began
heavily swapping and
the system is (pracically speaking) no longer useable, since all other
parts
and apps are constantly allocating and releasing memory.
A Unix system which has no more memory, is practically dead.

Did someone ever found out what happens if sending an alloc and
memory *really is* full (no physical or virtual memory left)?
Does an Exception raise? Does [<class> alloc] returns nil?
Does application just ends? ;-)
I tried to find out and never could find anything about this case (OK,
it might seem to be a rare situation with small apps, but with really
BIG documents it might happen though.)
