Description

We are trying to find the cause of random crashes in our application, which I suspect might be due to memory corruption. I stumbled on Dr Memory but have been unsuccessful in getting the app to run with Dr Memory on Windows. One of the components in the app is a GIS component, so it uses a substantial amount of memory, usually around 240MB. When I run it with Dr Memory, it gets to about 600MB and then terminates with the error "Out of memory". Total memory usage for Windows is only about 1.2GB, so there is memory available. I assume the high memory usage under Dr Memory is due to the shadow memory. What limits the amount of memory available to the process?

The app was built with MinGW 4.9.1 on Windows 7 (32bit).

Any suggestions on how to I can run this app with DrM?
