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.)
