[Swift-devel] behaviour on out-of-memory

[Ben Clifford]

On my laptop when I run swift with so many jobs that it runs out of 
memory, it gives the below errors and hangs. It doesn't seem to exit. 
That's icky for using this in any automated environment.

$ swift -tc.file ./tc.data -sites.file ./sites.xml badmonkey.swift  
-goodmonkeys=10000
Swift v0.3-dev r1609 (modified locally)
