Memory problems are always a bugger to find, usually because the point of failure is not the fault, the fault lies elsewhere in your code.
One thing you can try - which is rather crude - is to comment out lines of code, recompile and run. If you continue to comment out lines of code sooner or later you will comment out the faultly line of code and the problem goes away.
In my own experience once you have identified the line of code causing your problem, a fix is not far behind.
This method has its limitations, of course, but it may help.
