Doesn't fail on my machine, but I have 32GB... Will be harder to find out, maybe some memory profiling could help.

@VoidSec Could you try --max-old-space-size= with various values?
Like node --max-old-space-size=4096 electronegativity -i ./syng -o ./report/syng.csv

[Paolo Stagno]

--max-old-space-size=4096 it works! :)
