Public bug reported:
My System is Ubuntu 16.04, 64 bit, Unity desktop, kernel
`4.4.0-24-generic`, running on an Acer Aspire E5-773G notebook.
Running `lshw` (version `02.17-1.1ubuntu3.1`) from a terminal emulator
without `sudo` as normal user causes it to crash:
$ lshw
WARNING: you should run this program as super-user.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): std::bad_alloc
Aborted (core dumped)
This seems to be reproducible, even after a clean reboot etc.
Please comment if you need further information or logs.
