I know what it is, but not why it's happening, I'd post the code, but the relevant portion is about 20k. One function is systematically called a user-defined number of times by another function. The called function uses calloc() 4 or 5 times, in order to allocate 81 bytes/calloc call, and once the caller is done, the caller then frees the memory via a global variable pointer array. The global variable holds 20000 entries, but the program crashes after 15800 or so. The called function also uses sprintf() to assign a string to the new memory. I have sufficient memory, and have spent too much time on this already, does anyone have any thoughts or ideas?? The program works perfectly as long as the total number of calls to calloc() is below 15800, give or take... I haven't tried using malloc instead(my next step), but would much prefer to use calloc(). Im running gcc 2.7.2.1, under DOS 6.22 on a 486DX/40. -- Nb nebo AT LTS MajorNet nebo AT linetap DOT com Internet I'll stop drinking when I can't pour, I'll stop standing when I fall over, I'll stop moving when I pass out, I'll stop dreaming when I die.
