I'm sorry that I can't solve your problem for you, although I do smell a wild pointer somewhere that may be screwing with you malloc internal tables and then it crashes in malloc. Whenever I get problems like this I use a memory allocation library to help find wild pointers and wierd things. I use a slightly modified version of a package called ZFortify which I think is really good, and just a few days ago there was a post here about MSS which after a quick look looks very good too. I bet if you used something like this you answer will jump right out at you... Good luck, Doug Eleveld
