So I have some bizarre news. Through some tedious lesioning studies I've learned that malloc'ing a certain string (dx_ret) to greater than 32768 always results in a segfault, whereas giving it exactly 32768 or fewer bytes causes no errors. This is rather wierd, no? Shouldn't I be able to malloc as many bytes as I want, given they are available? Of course, this only happens when not in the perl debugger.
Anyway, I'm continuing but just thought I'd blurt that out. -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION: DO NOT read, copy or disseminate this communication unless you are the intended addressee.
