Subject: New/Delete problems


Hello all,

I've just encountered a problem with memory allocation that seems to be
unique to DJGPP.  In a numerical simulation program that I'm writing I
dynamically allocate necessary memory using new.  Later, I delete it
using delete [] Array or whatever.

My problem is that if I turn around and reallocate some memory - maybe
exactly the same amount, maybe not, the program begins thrashing and swapping
to the HD.

I've compiled this program with TC and it runs fine.  If this problem has
been addressed at an earlier date I apologize for bringing it up again :),
but I don't recall seeing such a problem discussed...

Thanks for any ideas you might have.
