operator new throws a C++ exception for out-of-memory conditions, so any 
code that invokes it (directly or indirectly) may cause an exception. 
Converting those C++ exceptions into Java exceptions would require 
modifications to the wrapper-generator, to put a try-catch block around 
every method that calls into C++.  Boost.Python does this, for example.

Cheers,
Tim
