Hi,

I am wondering if anyone out there has had the same problem:
I am writing a program that need to dinamically allocate a huge number of
little buffers (about 10 bytes each), but I have run into problem with
malloc(), i receive SIGSEGV inside the malloc() code. 
The program code seems correct, and anyway it is not particularly
complicate, it only performs some allocation and copy, so what it can be?
Every malloc'ed pointer is free'ed up correctly. 
Is it a bug of malloc() function? Any suggestion? 

Cheers,
