I encountered a run-time error with a program I compiled with Cygnus Beta 19. The error reads as follows: ------------------------- (C:\OpenGL\source\numerical\fark.EXE 1001) _sbrk: unable to commit extension ------------------------ The error happens as my programm tries to allocate a float array with dimensions 2048 x 2048: k = 2048; float a = new[k*k]; In a previous step that program successfully allocated, used and deallocated a float array with dimensions 1024 x 1024. The problem was not there with Beta 18. Any suggestions ? P.S.: this is not a problem of available RAM (which my computer has plenty of) - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
