I think it's just killed, no traceback, no nothin'. You just get
kicked back to the shell prompt (or, if you started Emacs from
START->RUN, the DOS box closes).
Laurynas, is this true in your case?

Yes, that's a possibility, but shouldn't this actually happen during
a call to sbrk (i.e., in a sense, _inside_ our code)?

I thought Unixy sbrk was recommended for NT and its descendants, no?
Or are the reasons gone with the changes in refreshed 2.03?
