--- Comment #46 from [email protected] ---
Firstly, as per OpenGrok, the text "bad allocation" doesn't seem to come from
anywhere in our code. It's likely returned from a Windows library, perhaps in
response to a bad_alloc exception that would be thrown when memory cannot be
allocated, either because you're out of RAM, or the code (wrongly) requested a
huge amount of RAM that can't be allocated.

It is a bad sign, that the "Faulting module name" differs. Possibly, RAM
running out in different places, or depletion of the i386 4 GiB RAM limit, but
4 GiB is still a lot of RAM, why does it run out, do you have many documents
open or a huge document open, or is OpenOffice leaking memory?

People reported only a few hundred MB RAM in use, so maybe it's not RAM running
out, maybe it's a buggy, huge allocation request that cannot be satisfied? Why
is it huge? Some calculation error due to memory corruption? :(

I'll try reproduce this when I have some time. Unfortunately people say the bug
doesn't occur on Linux, where debugging this would be easiest. But if so, then
at least you have a workaround - use OpenOffice on Linux until this bug is
fixed.

Oh and since earlier versions worked, this is a regression: marking it as such.
