Review comment:
       How safe is the saving and re-throwing of the exception?  Is there any potential for `OutOfMemoryException& e` to be a reference to a base class?  Could `e` end up being truncated as a result?  A direct `throw` to rethrow the existing exception might be safer overall, and avoid the need for a goto.
   
   Could we achieve the same effect with a higher-level try/catch block within the function, and avoid the saving of the exception and the goto?
