After upgrading from nodejs v10.14.0, I start my small program using node . and the memory usage rises from >400MB until the ram is at 100% which is where I am greeted with

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  std::bad_alloc
Aborted (core dumped)

which did not happen until I upgraded to node v10.14.1 which happens within 10 seconds of starting the script.
