retdec-decompiler std::bad_alloc

[VolkerSchlegel]

I installed retdec with the AUR package retdec-git, a few days ago and tried decompiling Hitman 2 to patch out always-online-DRM. It just crashed, other executables work fine, though.

Retdec Output:

Use the version compiled by master, the same situation

Can you try with a newer version? Admittedly I haven't tried the AUR package, and I can only test my Steam version, not retail CD version, but the current builds for Ubuntu and MSVC complete decompilation.
