Thanks for the reply, Chris.

No, I never took note of the memory indicator before. Anyway, this render had
been running for 6+ hours, and I wasn't always near my PC.
I'll restart the render tomorrow and try to monitor it.

I agree about printing the memory stats. I would think it's of little use if
everything went well, but be especially useful in case of errors.
