Hi,
I am getting numerous crashes in calls to malloc.
It seams to be independent of operating systems or hardware.
I tried it on DOS 6.2 and Win95. The same results. 
Program crashes are in calls from my program (through new) and
in internal calls to malloc from GRX20. It seems not to be related to amount of memory 
allocated but to numer of calls to malloc. Memory dump usually looks like this:

General Protection Fault at eip=38c20
eax=00000070 ebx=00000007 ecx=40660000 edx=000003fc esi=fffffffc edi=00000002
ebp=000843a0 esp=00084394 cs=af ds=a7 es=a7 fs=bf gs=a7 ss=b7 cr2=00005fea
Call frame traceback EIPs:
  0x00038c20   _malloc+200
  ...

Does anybody has some ideas ?
