The test case contains a constructor which is surrounded by a try-catch-block.
Inside the constructor some memory is allocated and an exception is thrown. In
the catch-block the previously allocated memory is freed which leads to an
unexpected segmentation fault. Changing the constant 16 in the test case to 15
or lower lets the program run as expected.
