Minor comment, no need to fix now, but: with the name "die" it was a lot
more obvious that this function never returned.

Also future work (not a problem with this patch): it's irritating that
we have long-running daemons dying on memory allocation failures.
Wouldn't it be better if they failed just the current operation and
tried to keep going?
