Are you saying that the settings themselves are reasonable for the
purpose, and that this particular crash just happened to be such a one
that no software running on the system in question can reasonably help
with that scenario?
This happened on a VM that I can't directly influence the hardware
configuration of (a commercially provided VPS), but I should be able
to jury-rig something using the provider's API if necessary.
