実行すると、valgrind が問題を検出します。

==3335== HEAP SUMMARY:
==3335== in use at exit: 2,271,338,496 bytes in 2,218,104 blocks
==3335== total heap usage: 2,218,105 allocs, 0 frees, 2,271,338,496 bytes allocated

==3335==
==3335== Valgrind's memory management: out of memory:
==3335== newSuperblock's request for 8876032 bytes failed.
==3335== 3116339200 bytes have already been allocated.
==3335== Valgrind cannot continue. Sorry.
==3335==
==3335== There are several possible reasons for this.
==3335== - You have some kind of memory limit in place. Look at the
==3335== output of 'ulimit -a'. Is there a limit on the size of
==3335== virtual memory or address space?
==3335== - You have run out of swap space.`
O2 O3 を使用しても、そのエラーは解消されません。フルサンプルですか?
更新
フラグは出力を変更しませんが、クラッシュする前にプログラムを中断すると、valgrind は次のように表示されます。
