Ah, I was hoping that the systemd slice apparatus would be able to
contain any traceback, but now that I think of it, being OOM-killed is
not quite the same as CPython-level crash (and thus traceback).

Alas, this works for me and does not crash. I suppose the next thing
might be to try and run with --debug? That way, we might be able to
determine which file, comparator or external tool was being run when
diffoscope invoked the ire of the oom-killer.
