Hi there!

I think I'm doing some thing wrong here.

When I try to hard code an array like this:

char spans[MAXHEIGHT][MAXWIDTH];

So the program runs ok. But when I try to
use dinamic memory allocation like this:

char **spans;
spans = (char **) malloc(MAXWIDTH*MAXHEIGHT*sizeof(char));

When I run the program it prints a General
protection fault error, pointing to a loop
that accesses the array.

Probably is something I'm missing... isn't it?


Thank you

Gustavo Niemeyer
