CPM crashing on Windows

[bridadan]

Running version 0.2.6 in Python 2.7.13 on Windows 10.

The python instance crashes for me (Windows has a pop up showing that python.exe has stopped working).

The log for me looks like this:

Apr 15 15:41:20.997 WARN No Core found!, Package: CMSIS, Vendor: ARM
Apr 15 15:41:21.232 ERRO when trying to parse component: child element "description" not found in "component" element, Package: RS14100_DFP, Vendor: Redpine

Some extra info:

On Windows, I can't run pack-manager cache everything without it running out of memory:

$ pack-manager cache everything

Throughout the runtime of the command, the memory increases by about 4 MB every second or so, up to about 2GB where I get the memory allocation error above.

Running pack-manager cache descriptors seems to work fine, no issues with the memory leak.

This seems like it may be a windows-only problem. I can't reproduce it on my mac or linux boxes.

@theotherjimmy I humbly offer my laptop to you for debugging purposes 😄
