Something is happening in qimgloader.cpp:99.
We had a similar problem before, at the same line, I think it was while loading
a TIF file. This is a simple uchar mem alloc, so I really don't know what could
be wrong here. I've never seen new() just crash, this can only happen when no
memory is available at all, right?
So this would mean the users memory was completely filled AND the swap is also
completely used. And even then new() would work I guess, I wrote some app at
university to crash a computer in seconds. It allocated 1GB of RAM per second
(also with new()), but it never crashed. The only thing you had to do was plug
off the power cable because even keystrokes where not handled anymore :-)

If memory outrun is not the problem, what else can crash new()?
