Program Crashes Almost Immediately with OutOfMemoryException

[poisson-aerohead]

I have successfully built the pickit3-programmer and installed it. I did get the warning described here, but it seems to not cause build or installation to fail. The program is now at /opt/microchip/pickit3/ with a symlink in /usr/local/bin, which is what the Makefile intends.

Upon launch of the program, I get the following Exception almost immediately:

$ pickit3

The computer should not be out of memory. It has about 8 gigs and 6 were free at the time according to top. I traced through the source following the printed call stack, but I am not sure what the problem may be. If I had to guess, I do not have a correctly configured dotnet or I am missing some dependency?

Machine is running archlinux with dotnet-runtime, dotnet-sdk, mono, and nuget packages installed

Any help would be appreciated. Please let me know.

Some updates:

I have traced a bit out of this source and into dotnet. The problematic line is in System.Drawing.Graphics in the function public static Graphics FromImage(Image image):

Gdip.CheckStatus(PInvoke.GdipGetImageGraphicsContext(image.Pointer(), &nativeGraphics));

The CheckStatus function is in System.Drawing.Gdiplus:

internal static void CheckStatus(Status status) => status.ThrowIfFailed();

This is obviously a simple function. I am not sure where to find the PInvoke.GdipGetImageGraphicsContext function at this time, but it seems to me that the real error is originating in that one. I am not sure what could be wrong with my system / build that would drive this.

Removing the third argument (PixelFormat) when constructing the Bitmap here:

pickit3-programmer/PICkit2V2/DialogLogic.cs

Line 445 in 122f677

Bitmap gridmap = new Bitmap(length, width, PixelFormat.Format16bppRgb555);

fixes this specific issue.

Bitmap gridmap = new Bitmap(length, width);

Seems like there's loads of others problems though.
