HTTP step failing with "Out of memory"

[DuncanL]

For some reason an HTTP step (doing a secure GET to a file) in our build has started failing every night with:
Error getting file: Out of memory (OK)
The machine has over 400Gb of disk space and 3Gb of RAM. It's doing nothing else except running VBP 6.7a.

Any suggestions? It's been fine for weeks and now fails every time. Is there any way to get more verbose logging?

Oh, and as an addendum; rebuilding the step (Ctrl+F7 or right click Rebuild) after it has failed then works fine and the build can be continued with F7.

Very strange...

Set Logging on the Command tab to All+Hex dump.

Thanks - and I'd even previously set the "Logging" option to Progress - that'll teach me to examine the dialog box more closely!

Anyway, it is now failing every time (even when run directly with Rebuild Step) with the error:

"bad allocation"

I think it must be machine specific, since it's OK on my own dev machine, but not on the build machine. Any suggestions on what that might be?

Maybe try uninstalling and re-downloading/reinstalling, or repaving the box.
