SegFault / bad allocation if same limited scheme is used in grad and div

In the tutorial case $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/pimpleFoam/laminar/planarPoiseuille/, in system/fvSchemes replace

gradSchemes
{
    default         Gauss linear;
}

by

gradSchemes
{
    default Gauss limitedLinear phi 1;
}

and in divSchemes, replace

div(phi,U)      Gauss linearUpwind grad(U);

by

div(phi,U)      Gauss limitedLinear 1;

If pimpleFoam is executed, the solver crashes right after the output "PIMPLE: iteration 1" with an error message like this (tested with OpenFOAM v1812):

new cannot satisfy memory request.
This does not necessarily mean you have run out of virtual memory.
It could be due to a stack violation caused by e.g. bad use of pointers or an out of date shared library
