[Boost-users] asio udp bad_alloc?

Hi All:

I'm trying (somewhat unsuccessfully) to use a udp::socket in my program.
My system is running Ubuntu 7.04 and boost 1.35

After a while, the program dies with the following message:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'

The line that causes the problem is:

        (*m_socket).send_to(boost::asio::buffer(xmlData.m_xmlString),
m_remoteEndpoint);

I think that the client program isn't keeping up and my send buffer is
overflowing.  Is there any way to confirm this thought?  

Could I use something like a select statement to see if this UDP socket
is ready for writing?

Please note that I set the size of the send buffer to 8192:

m_socket->set_option(udp::socket::send_buffer_size(8192));

Thanks for the help and/or suggestions!

THANXS
