Thank you for responding,
    I finally get it solved. The fault pointed by the compiler at the second
fread is not the actual place of error. Error lies somewhere in the function
of the function. There were mallocs in it and possibly multiple call of
malloc cause the fault. I have them taken out and declare global for malloc
pointers and correct some other errors as well. So they run ok now.
