Dumb questions, but are you sure it's a FAT partition? NTFS is read-only at this stage to Linux. cheack the entry in /etc/fstab. The last field (the one with all the commas in it) has the flags for the mounted file system. If there is a "ro" in there, that means that it is mounted read only.

I'm having a weird problem with free() behaviour under Linux. The program compiles fine, but in runtime it *sometimes* dumps core which, thanks to gdb, can be traced to free() calls. This is especially true when calls to free() repeat, i.e. within the loop. Second free() is guaranteed to dump

These are classic symptoms of a memory problem in your program. Somewhere you have overstepped an array or accessed a null pointer. The problem occurred somewhere before free, but only manifested itself once you called free. That is the trouble with memory errors, where the debugger shows you
