EXCEPTION: St9bad_alloc #9922

My node suddenly crashed in the middle of the night, after running stable for many days. I got this error in the terminal:

EXCEPTION: St9bad_alloc
std::bad_alloc
bitcoin in ProcessMessages()

bitcoin-qt: validation.cpp:1751: bool ConnectBlock(const CBlock&, CValidationState&, CBlockIndex*, CCoinsViewCache&, const CChainParams&, bool): Controletest 'hashPrevBlock == view.GetBestBlock()'

What version of bitcoin-core are you using?

0.14.0RC1

Machine specs:

• OS: Raspbian
• CPU: ARM
• RAM: 1GB
• Disk size: 500GB
• Disk Type (HD/SDD): HDD

Any extra information that might be useful in the debugging process.

My bitcoin.conf file contents: listen=1 bind=0.0.0.0 port=8333 maxconnections=64 upnp=1 maxmempool=64

disablewallet=1

You had already reported this in #9857.

I believe the reporter's point is that it still crashes with -maxmempool set (the purported fix for #9857).

@TheBlueMatt That's correct. The error I get now is also different then the errors I had before. It ran stable for long time using the maxmempool setting. However, not it suddenly stopped.

That's fine, but #9857 is still open, so you should not report a new issue then (or at least close the old one).

Ok. I'll Remember that.
