C++ bad_alloc exception on future.get

My C++ program is exiting with a bad_alloc exception. I'm trying to find the cause, but don't quite know how to debug these kind of exceptions.

So far, I compiled the program in debug mode, run it with gdb and set a breakpoint before throwing the exception (b 'std::bad_alloc::bad_alloc()').

After the exception was thrown, I inspected the stack (bt), which showed the following:

(gdb) bt

As you can see in #7, the exception is being thrown when getting the std::future? Here is the piece of code from cluster_reads (#8) that is crashing (I marked line 81 with an arrow).

    std::vector<std::vector<kmer_t>> kmers(reads.size());
    std::vector<std::vector<kmer_t>> rev_kmers(reads.size());

    std::vector<kmer_bv_t> bv_kmers(reads.size());
    std::vector<kmer_bv_t> rev_bv_kmers(reads.size());

    std::vector<std::future<void>> tasks;
    for (int t = 0; t < n_threads; ++t) {
        tasks.emplace_back(std::async(std::launch::async, [t, &reads, n_threads, kmer_size, &kmers, &rev_kmers, &bv_kmers, &rev_bv_kmers] {
            for (int i = t; i < reads.size(); i+=n_threads) {
                read_kmers_t k1 = extract_kmers_from_read(reads[i].seq, kmer_size);

                kmers[i] = k1.list_forward;
                rev_kmers[i] = k1.list_reverse;
                bv_kmers[i] = k1.bv_forward;
                rev_bv_kmers[i] = k1.bv_reverse;
            }
        }));
    }

    for (auto &&task : tasks) {
        task.get(); <------------------- line 81
    }

How can I debug further this issue? I'm pretty new to gdb. Any idea on what might be causing the bad_alloc exception?
