Hi Martin,

it is the malloc in the section:

 // Allocate a new block (this way to be exception safe)
        char *pblock = (char*)malloc(size);
        if(pblock == 0)
        {
                throw std::bad_alloc();
        }

in lib/common/StreamableMemBlock.cpp

Function: void StreamableMemBlock::ReadFromStream(IOStream &rStream, int 
Timeout)

Regards,
Stefan
