malloc_consolidate

[bkkishore]

Hi all,

I've a code which hangs in malloc_consolidate.
The stack trace is as shown

# Version = "2004.01"
# Date = "Jan 26 2004"
# Platform = linux
# 0 0xb74e734e: 'malloc_consolidate + 0xae'

# End of Stack Trace
** Fatal: (SIGSEGV) Bad pointer access. Closing vsimk.
** Fatal: vsimk is exiting with code 211.
(Exit codes are defined in the ModelSim messages appendix
of the ModelSim User's Manual.)
When i referred some user groups, i got to know that this error comes
because of memory leakage. I've set sstem variable MALLOC_CHECK_ to
2.(I use gcc, which has memory check feature).
When i set this to 2 it perfectly runs.

If i unset it again crashes.
Can anybode suggest what might be the possible resaon for this and what
is the work around for this problem.

thanks in advance

Wrong newsgroup.

Try comp.os.linux.development.apps
