Aborting without an error message when memory is short
is not helpful, so print the reason for the abort.
Try
qemu -m 1000000
to force an out-of-memory error.

The patch is wrong for, at least, Windows.

Aborting without an error message when memory is short
is not helpful, so print the reason for the abort.
Try
qemu -m 1000000
or
qemu -m 2000 (win32)
to force an out-of-memory error.
v2:
* Fix error message for win32.
* Fix error message for posix_memalign.
Thanks to malc for the hints.
