[Nut-upsuser] upds crash with 'Out of memory'

[Ryan Sizemore]

Hello,

I am trying to get nut running on a Windows 2012 R2 server (x64). I am
using the MSI release of 2.6.5-3. The attached UPS is an APC xs1500 (model
bx1500g). The connection is an RJ45 to USB cable.

Here is my ups.conf:
[xs1500]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
desc = "APC Back-UPS xs1500"

The problem I am encountering is upsd crashing with an 'Out of memory'
error. I can start usbhid-ups.exe and it will correctly dump variables from
the UPS, so communication with the UPS itself seems to work. However, when
I try to run 'upsc xs1500', I get the following output from upsd (running
with debugging output):

C:\Program Files (x86)\NUT\sbin>upsd -DDDDD

upsc only shows a generic error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\NUT\bin>upsc xs1500
Error: Write error: Unknown error

However, usbhid-upd.exe displays the following:

I'm not sure if the 'Read error' is indicative of anything, but it occurs
exactly when upsd crashes with the 'Out of memory' error.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
