With -vv, you should be seeing messages like this:

[generator] expand file_list pointer array to N bytes, did move

That will tell you what the last realloc attempt was before the error.
If it is a really huge value, check to see if you have a directory with
a huge number of files in it.  You should also check your process's
memory ulimit values to see if they are too small, and try using a
different compiler or malloc package to see if your malloc is having
trouble with memory fragmentation.
