> Is this still a bug due to the non-graceful handling of the out-of-
memory error?
It is a bug, but not necessarily of any single component, as handling out
of memory conditions isn't something that's generally tested all that
much. The Debugger code itself takes care to verify all allocations for
success and tries to gracefully fail in error cases, but there's little it
can do if code somewhere in one of the kits or a 3rd party library that it
relies upon doesn't do the same.
In any case, what's still not clear is if it's simply out of memory, or
exhausting the address space. If the latter, then you're out of luck as
far as debugging a Qt app without switching to a 64-bit build, which, as I
previously pointed out is also necessary for other large libraries. From
what I've seen of the size of the debug versions of the Qt libraries,
that's highly likely to be the case.
