electron-react-boilerplate: Packaging Application with Webpack 2 Fails

My build used to only work if I had this flag --max_old_space_size=4096

I don’t know if that should be necessary anymore, but I know trying to use it causes a failure.

I’m failing on this command during packaging: build-renderer: cross-env NODE_ENV=production node -r babel-register ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack --config webpack.config.production.js --progress --profile --colors``

Here’s the full error log:

24 error Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.
24 error If you do, this is most likely a problem with the myApp package,
24 error not with npm itself.
24 error Tell the author that this fails on your system:
24 error     cross-env NODE_ENV=production node -r babel-register ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack --config webpack.config.production.js --progress --profile --colors
24 error You can get information on how to open an issue for this project with:
24 error     npm bugs myApp
24 error Or if that isn't available, you can get their info via:
24 error     npm owner ls myApp
24 error There is likely additional logging output above.
25 verbose exit [ 2, true ]

Thanks very much for any suggestions!
