I was not aware that memory allocation failures could make PHP to exit its process but since it seems intentional there must be a reasoning behind that for which I am not the person that should explain. Maybe the reason has to due to the fact that when memory allocation fails, PHP allocation code can't be certain about memory integrity.

Why would memory integrity be compromised? It's not like a buffer overflow.


Anyway, 600MB memory allocation is not normal in a typical memory application. If it is normal in your application, why don't you just raise the memory limit setting? It would avoid making PHP exit.

It's not normal in my app either.
