Four more hours of debugging have helped me solve the problem on my
own . It turned out that in get_simple(...) function formula for
calculating the size of memory to allocat was wrong . The size
calculated could be negative which would cause a crash with message
" Virtual memory exceeded in `new' " . The worst part of this bug is
that the crash does not leave you anything , gdb can't even tell you
at what line it died .

Thank you .
