8683,windows native shared memory freeze when no more ram available,julien.potiron@…,Ion Gaztañaga,"Hi,

I'm working with native windows shared memory and I have a problem when I'm running low on memory.

If I have only 512Mb of Ram available and I create a window_shared_memory object with a size of 1Gb, the creation works well. But when trying to write inside the shared memory, the computer freezes, waiting for memory to be freed. 

Is there a way to avoid this freeze (I almost have to reboot my computer), or at least a way to throw an error when trying to write to memory we don't have ?
