My Phase database search job dies with an error similar to:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): St9bad_alloc

What is the reason for this error and how can I get my search to run?

This error indicates that you are running out of memory. It has typically been seen in cases where the hypothesis used for the search contains a large number of sites or a large number of identical sites. Using partial matching for large hypotheses may also contribute to the error: for example, asking that the search must match 6 out of 17 sites. The workaround is to reduce the number of sites in the hypothesis.
