Shouldn't one of these be "data register" ? Oops. I thought I already corrected this typo.

Nope.

Hmm. Does it print what allocation exactly failed? (e.g. a backtrace) Not that it would give anything that could help you in an out of memory condition like this, but in general it's good to know in what point the failure happened.
