Comment:

 Long story short: Enable [http://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG WP_DEBUG]
 and you'll probably find PHP is running out of memory with a Fatal error.

 WordPress can't really do anything to protect against that case, and
 themes/plugins should re-consider the need to query everything, or instead
 retrieve it in chunks for processing.

 See also #19866 for discussion over retrieving only certain fields (which
 we're not going to support).

 You can get help for plugin/theme questions through
 [https://wordpress.org/support/ the support forums] where others can help
 you with the problem (Since Trac is for a WordPress core bug only)
