Strange Malloc failed on server error

2006-12-19 Thread Christopher Pruitt
I have searched this entire list and have not found anyone who speaks 
about an issue of Malloc failed on server like we are seeing. 

We are getting a Malloc failed on server error when we try to open a 
Display-Only form. Here is the twist. The first time we try to open the 
form it the error appears. If you try to open it again it displays the 
form where the form is blank (no images or fields are displayed). To 
further make this strange we can close the User Tool. Clear the cache 
files (arv and arf) and then reboot the desktop and the Malloc failed on 
server error goes away for awhile. 

Anyone ever see this kind of behavior before? I am at a loss as to why it 
is happening.

AR Server: 6.03 patch 018

From what I can gather, the malloc error is in the user tool.  My guess is

that you are using an old version of the client with new arserver features
or there is something amiss with the definition of the display only form.
If you export the form and attempt to reimport it, does it give you an
error?

Sounds like a memory leak from the client.  You probably get it the
first time you open the form because that's when it's attempting to pull
down the .arf and .arv cache files.  Subsequent times it just opens the
incomplete cache files, so no error, but you see the blank form.

You mention images on the form - make sure the images you use aren't
corrupted, or too large.  I once used a .bmp file by mistake - the file
was ~1Mb - and that caused malloc errors on the clients.  Best to use as
small an image file as possible - like JPG format.

Barring that, your best bet would be to uninstall the client, remove (or
rename) the install directory, and reinstall.
