Dear djgpp users:

At the suggestion of one of you, I tried running my eispack
routines for matrices of dimension 255 and 256.  The program
works for 255 and crashes for 256, which is mighty suspicious.

For 256, the error is Exception 2 at eip=someaddress

The matrices are allocated using the following:

double **matrix1,**matrix2,**matrix3,**matrix4,**dmatrix();
matrix1=dmatrix(1,255,1,255);
.
.
.
matrix4=dmatrix(1,255,1,255);



where dmatrix is defined:
   
double **dmatrix(nrl,nrh,ncl,nch)
int nrl,nrh,ncl,nch;
{
int i;
float **m;

m=(double **)malloc((unsigned)(nrh-nrl+1)*sizeof(double*));
if(!m)nrerror("allocation failure");
m-=nrl;

for(i=nrl;i<=nrh;i++){
	m[i]=(double *)malloc((unsigned)(nch-ncl+1)*sizeof(double));
	if (!m[i])nrerror("allocation failure");
	m[i]-=ncl;
}
}

Is there some law about double pointers that I don't know about?
This type of allocation scheme has always worked for me in the past.
