The following code is consistently throwing xxx in free(): warning: modified (page-) pointer. on the free(ENTRY.ptr) line. ENTRY is a datum, the trace printf's show that ENTRY.dptr has the same value immediately after the dbm_fetch as it has immediately before the free, but the message continues to be displayed... Anyone know what is going on here? ENTRY = dbm_fetch(db,URL); printf("%d\n",ENTRY.dptr); bzero(etemp,1000); if(ENTRY.dptr != NULL){ strncpy(etemp,ENTRY.dptr,ENTRY.dsize); // ENTRY.dptr[ENTRY.dsize]=0; sprintf(temp,"%s\xb3\xb3%s",URL.dptr,etemp); } else{ // printf("ERRER %d %s\n",dbm_error(db),array[y]); sprintf(temp,"%s\xb3\xb3%s",URL.dptr,"0"); } free(URL.dptr); if(ENTRY.dptr != NULL){ printf("%d\n",ENTRY.dptr); free(ENTRY.dptr); Sean Peck News Index -- The original News Only Search Engine. http://www.newsindex.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
