"Bad allocation" exception

[ZwergNaseXXL]

Occuring since update to Notepad++ 8.0:

• notepad++ is not running
• double-click any associated file to open it in notepad++ (not even a big file)
• observe message box: "wm_create: bad allocation", notepad++ does not start
• keep trying, after a couple of times it may actually work, or it may not
• go to notepad++ plugins folder, rename folder "BigFiles" to "BigFiles.bak"
• try again, now it works

I am trying to replicate your issue, but no luck so far. Did it ever work for you or it always crash? Are you on 32bit or 64bit?

My steps:

1. Installed Notepad++ 8.0 64bit
2. Double-click on an associated file
   I don't see an error.
   I will try to delete the plugin and see if it is happening only during fresh install.

I have Notepad++ 8.1.3 by now. I reactivated the BigFiles plugin. Can't reproduce the issue anymore. 🤷‍♂️
