I am running Control-FREEC. I run into this error:

..using GC-content to normalize the control profile

I also tried compiling with a newer version of gcc (6.1 instead of 4.4), which produces a slightly different error message:
Warning: control length is not equal to the sample length for chromosome X
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): std::bad_alloc
Aborted (core dumped)
Usually, a core dump happens when there is a memory issue, but it's only 45MB, so that can't be the reason.
If I repeat the analysis, but change from mateFile using BAM files to mateCopyNumberFile using the .cpn files from the failed analysis, the problem goes away:
CG-content printed into ./GC_profile.targetedRegions.cnp
..using GC-content to normalize the control profile
file ./GC_profile.targetedRegions.cnp is read
..will remove all windows with read count in the control less than 50
..will process the control file as well: removing all windows with read count in the control less than 50
..Set ploidy for the control genome equal to 2
..Running FREEC with ploidy set to 2
It's using the same .cpn files for doing that calculation as far as I can tell. Why does it get stuck depending on input? I tried multiple times with the same results.
This is based on the latest Control-FREEC 10.6. I used the same input files for older version 7.2 and that one works.
A similar problem was reported previously:
Unfortunately, those discussions don't actually have a solution posted. Has anyone run into this problem and solved it?
