[Cmpl] Nondescript error message when running out of memory

[Christopher Gross]

Hello,

recently I came across a strange error message when trying to solve a 
problem using CMPL:

 > CMPL model generation - running
 >
 > CMPL version: 1.10.0
 > Authors: Thomas Schleiff, Mike Steglich
 > Distributed under the GPLv3
 >
 > create model instance ...
 > write model instance ...
 > CMPL model generation - finished
 >
 > Solver - running
 >
 > Error (interfaces): can not connect the solver:

Note that there is nothing after the colon. I am using the CBC solver, 
so after looking at the source code it seems that the path of CBC should 
be output here.

I am running on openSUSE 13.1 with kernel 3.11.10-29-desktop #1 SMP 
PREEMPT Thu Mar 5 16:24:00 UTC 2015 (338c513) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 
GNU/Linux, using CMPL 1.10.0 and CBC 2.9.5. This is a virtual machine in 
VirtualBox 5.0.0.

After a bit of debugging I realized that this error always occurs when 
the solver runs out of memory. I am not sure why it manifests in this 
way (truncated error message) but after adding more main memory to the 
virtual machine it runs just fine.

Best regards,

Christopher
