Ah yes!
I had forgotten about that. I saw that with a Java app.
The OS Virtual Memory was mapped unto the same drive/folder where the application log was being written. So after the log had been writing for a while there was no more virtual memory. Delete the logs and the problem goes away. Quite annoying and unexpected problem.

Ha! That's funny. What language are you programming in?
One of the funniest exception messages I've seen reads:
"Out of memory: Kill process, score, or sacrifice child". 
Another one I've seen reads:
"Keyboard Not Found. Press F1 to Resume".

C#.
And yeah, "sacrifice child" is rather novel! I remember seeing those "keyboard not found. Press F1 to resume" messages in old DOS systems. Those were the days!

Nope, plain .NET 4.7.2. I think it's related to Dapper blowing up in a bad way, lol.

the exception message in case of my own coding error reads "internal error apologies if computer exploded please do not take legal action as am saving pennies to purchase Magnum Dynalab/VTL/Harbeth/ATOHM/Shunyata Research system"

The general problem is that one can get an out of memory problem even when there is seemingly plenty of memory for the application.
I believe this can happen in Java. [Edit] (See other post - it can happen on Java.)
I know it can happen in .Net.
For .Net it happens when the Large Object Heap runs out of memory. I think there can be other cases as well.
Now why would that matter for the code given? Because the string it attempts to build would result in an object that would go on the Large Object Heap.
In my experience I saw this when the application was doing a lot of transfers of files by using in memory copies of the files between different layers. Due to over generalization of course. Insisting on passing streams between layers and then each layer copied the stream into memory and it went down the chain. Then when one adds threads to that it starts chewing up memory.
In terms of the Exception class (or children) I have seen layers that caught an exception, then used that exception stack trace to create the message for the Exception that it threw. Which might be useful and even required if going over the wire it will lead to very large Exception messages.
The Large Object Heap cutoff is the rather odd number of 85,000.

I had a smart guy tell me this, so I'm sharing it. The next time some dude on CP wants to tell you that Fahrenheit is dumber than Celsius because it goes by the boiling point of water.
Two things to note:
- The boiling point of water is different depending on your elevation. So, that's not a holy grail metric like people claim.
- A predominate theory of Fahrenheit was that it was created to be more people centric. As in 100 is close to average human body's temp and zero means you're in serious trouble.
Just because Fahrenheit's boiling point of water at sea level is 212 doesn't make it dumber. It means people insult things they know little about.

It was the same as Celsius except he used alcohol (a common alchemical ingredient back when chemistry and alchemy were conflated) and used 180 degrees as scale due to... nobody knows what a half circle had to do with temperature, probably a discarded theory but the values remained.

The entire point is that the entire World minus a handful of places uses Celsius and metric.
Poi voglio dire, se ognuno decide di usare le proprie unità di misura a questo punto che usi pure la propria lingua e siano gli altri ad adattarsi.

So. That wasn't the point of my post. Work on that reading comprehension.
If you want to use popularity as the only metric to determine whether or not something is good or bad, then I suggest you start paying attention to Kim Kardashian, otherwise you're a hypocrite.
Now, are you done proving my point about the superiority complex people on CP have? Just can't accept something different?

YOU talk about 'superiority complex'???

Please do. Tell them that you will deny me my right of speech. And please include my references to UDHR Article 19.
You want to censor my voice completely, deny me my right to communicate to others my reactions to your statement. I do not think that CP will honor your censoring request.

Oh no - you are on his naughty list now. There are a number of us now, so maybe we can start a group.

Also, talking about the boiling point of water doesn't mean I said it's the only thing that changes the boiling point. The point was, it's not a holy grail metric either. In your attempt to "correct" me... you missed the point completely.

I never heard this argument about Celsius degrees being 'better' because it is based the (freezing and) boiling point of water. Every one knows it was based on that, but not that it makes it 'better'.
So you have found one person who says that it makes Celsius 'better' - and you make a big number about this, feeling so grossly insulted that you have to complain about it in social media. Oh well, that is you ....
I definitely prefer to work with Celsius, because it fits directly in with other internationally accepted standards in all sorts of science. It simply is far more practical (comparable to switching to larger or smaller units by simply moving the decimal point). If you feel that argument as another insult, feel free to.
But don't forget UDHR Article 19.

You are right, it is neither dumber nor cleverer than other scales (cf Kelvin). After all, a scale is just a set of numbers that we learn and use to make sense of the world around us. In the UK we switched from Fahrenheit to Celsius back in the 1970s or thereabouts. I can still think in terms of both scales when necessary; and that makes travel to the USA easier.
