Got a crash log from a customer. Does anyone have an idea what is crashing here:

Is this a memory problem? I’ve had the customer repeat the action he did. The crash is reproducible but the app uses <1 GB when the app crashes.

7 libc++abi.dylib 0x9e69d682 operator new(unsigned long) + 98

likely out of memory

Sugar. Thanks for confirming. Still strange. The customer selected less than 10k records in the table. I just tried with more than 36k and everything worked fine.

If memory adddress space for the app is full and fragmented, getting a continuous block can be difficult.

Please sign on feedback reports asking Xojo to catch this exception and raise OutOfMemoryExceptoon.

@Christian: done.
