Oops. I thought I already corrected this typo. Thanks.

Nope. No platform data is a valid case, so no error here.

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.

Best regards,
