I've thought about this, but I don't have that much time right now -- it
would imply redefinition of interfaces. What I was asking about was just
to define something like g_set_oom_handler and call it instead of
abort(). So, my question remains: would it be enough to modify g_error?

With kind regards,
Baurjan.
