I am causing a  run-time error in the form of a page fault.  I thought
a page fault was a miss on the cache so I am not sure how I'm causing
it but the offending line of code is...
free(data_buffer);

where data_buffer has been declared as follows...
unsigned char *data_buffer;

and allocated memory using malloc() before free is called.

any suggestions of why free() wouldn't be working?

thanks,
Darren
