Steps through with no obvious failures right up to the point where the
NoMemory error appears.
Well, to get to that point, one of the instances of goto no_memory must
have been hit. The only way that can happen is if something failed and
returnet a NULL pointer. You can do print <varname> to print out the
current value of a variable. Also make sure you're building with -O0, as
optimisation can obfuscate things.
