Hi,
I dont know if some of you use macos9 compilers, in particular oldish code warrior 10 
which is my case.
I had last year some memory problems, and found the same kind of problems in my code 
also.
Some frequent allocations may produce a HUGE bloc to be allocated. For instance I ask 
1000 times 1000 bytes, and instead of allocating 1Mb, the application allocates 100 Mb 
!

The solution is to replace "malloc" and "free" by "NewPtr" and "FreePtr".
The only problem is "realloc" that does not exist, but can be easily coded.

I beleive that the bug is in old code warrior implementation of "malloc". But not sure.

Hope this helps.
