Absolutely right, I had to turn off guard malloc, and this problem went away.

This is a 32-bit app, running on 10.10.2. Why would this be happening? Any

GuardMalloc[Identity Finder-61163]: Failed to VM allocate 16384 bytes
GuardMalloc[Identity Finder-61163]: Explicitly trapping into debugger!!!

It ran out of address space, i.e. allocated 2GB* of memory. This is entirely 
possible when using GuardMalloc because it puts every heap allocation on a 
separate 4k-byte memory page, which tends to hugely increase the amount of 
memory allocated.

I think you’ll need to either turn off GuardMalloc, or run your app as 64-bit.

* IIRC that’s how much address space is available to a 32-bit process. Or it 
might be 3GB. The rest of the full 4GB is reserved by the kernel.
