There is a fix in Croquet (update your image from the repository at 
http://jabberwocky.croquetproject.org:8889/Homebase.html) by raising an 
OutOfMemory error which is something that can be handled by your code 
whereas the environmental lowspace signal cannot. We ran into this 
problem when our servers got hit with malformed requests and an attempt 
to allocate a huge amount of memory sent the image spinning into an 
infinite loop of depth.

Cheers,
