I ran into this problem with the Zero (non-BC) client files. `std::bad_alloc` is a general libstdc++ error that indicates the pointer tried to allocate new[] beyond usable system memory. Turns out I was using a VM that had only 2GB allocated to it (!) so I upped it to 4GB and it succeeded. I would check to make sure something else on your system isn't hogging more available memory and try. I don't know what the bare minimum is but apparently 2GB is definitely not enough.
