Memory for statics

Hi, I have a situation where if I declare a certain static class (as a static member of a declared class) I seem to run out of memory during program load. void * operator new (Genode::size_t size, Genode::Allocator *allocator) tries to throw an exception, but this seems to turn into a page fault may be because it is unhandled. Is there a limit on the BSS size or something? I'm now thinking I should avoid this anyway, but I am intrigued to know what is going on.

Best, Daniel
