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.
But this does mean the policy does allow scripts to crash the engine/server.
The way I see it, calling exit() is not a crash. If the code was accessing invalid memory addresses that would cause it segmentation faults, that would crash *ONE* process, you only see an entry in the server error log, the child process would be restarted, but it still would not crash the whole server as you seem to be thinking.
