I agree that memory_full is suboptimal here, but "Oversize allocation"
with a number is too technical to be useful to the programmer who
bumps into this problem. We need some text which will indicate that
the program is too "complex" (a better word is needed here) and should
be simplified. Can you come up with something along those lines?
