When the exception is translated i can see that the exception code is
X_E_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY. That explains the orgin of Exception.
This can be a common problem( low resources ).

The problem for crash is stack overflow and i trying to find the reason for
that as this is an uncommon. The exception handling mechanism is allocating
lot of memory(like u said) on the stack and ultimately the stack overflows
before the exception is completely handled.

That's the trouble.

Exception 1 -- caused by original out of memory -->Paged pool Memory
Goes into exception handler
tries to allocate lots of memory--->ON Stack
fails -- throws another nested exception ->no it doesnt throw Exception. Rather it results in stack overflow

Exception 2 -- further down the stack -->never raised(makes no sense).
Goes into exception handler
tries to allocate lots of memoryt
fails...

repeat until no stack left (This is not the way exception handler works! :-) )
