- My wholehearted thanks to all of those who responded to my question.
- Almost without an exception, I was advised to issue the "where" command to
- get a trace-back of all the subroutines that uses the "malloc".
-
- However, to my great surprise, it later turned out that nothing was
- wrong with my program. It was the system's library which got corrupted. And
- I did not find this out until someone else took my favorite seat and I was
- forced to use another computer (we have 9 AIX). I would have never suspected
- the system itself and could have spent my whole life (?) in vain.
-
- Keep in mind folks, next time you hit some strange behavior, try it
- out on another computer first.
-
- Again, thanks a lot.
