Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
     I profiled a program that allocated too much memory.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
    The program was killed by the OOM killer
   * What was the outcome of this action?
     time reported an exit status of zero
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
     I expected a negative value like the built-in time command
