Subj : Spidermonkey: JS_malloc and memory usage

We're using Spidermonkey in a RAM-limited environment. The total RAM  is 8 
MB,  with half of it used by things other than JavaScript. I want to know 
how can we gracefully fail the memory allocation from user scripts without 
crashing the whole system. Is JS_malloc the engine uses internally for the 
JavaScript objects? Can I modify it to catch the out-of-memory condition? 
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Weiyang
