> BigDecimal.divide should throw an ArithmeticException instead of OutOfMemory when called
with a scale that can't be satisfied with the available memory. The exception defined in
the specification is:
> "throws ArithmeticException - if divisor is zero, roundingMode==RoundingMode.UNNECESSARY
and the specified scale is insufficient to represent the result of the division exactly."
> Which doesn't say what to do in this precise occurrence (though it doesn't say it may
throw an OutOfMemoryError), but both Sun and IBM Java implementations have this behaviour.
