It's obviously due to what you're doing on line 42.
[Seriously, though, how would *anyone* know -- or even hazard a
reasonable guess -- without some relevant information?]

You are using that much.
You are wasting part of it.
Your request is definitely off-topic in comp.lang.c
For questions about algorithms and data structures, consider
asking in comp.programming.

Assuming you're serious ...
"line 42" is a wild guess about where the problem in your program
might be. It's a joke. Since you've given us absolutely no useful
information that would help us answer your question, that's the best
we can do.
And please don't assume we can see the article to which you're
replying. You need to provide some context. Google makes it
gratuitously difficult to do this properly, but there is a workaround
(that's been posted here over 1000 times).
If you want to post a followup via groups.google.com, don't use
the broken "Reply" link at the bottom of the article. Click on
"show options" at the top of the article, then click on the
"Reply" at the bottom of the article headers.
And please complain to Google about their broken interface. They can
do whatever they like with their own private non-Usenet groups, but
they are damaging Usenet, something that's been around decades longer
than they have.

30M isn't a lot. When your programme takes 8GB, then you can
complain...
Seriously tho, who knows? You've not said anything at all about what
your programme does., or shown any code fragments.

Probably because galloons (narrow bands or braids used as trimming and
commonly made of lace, metallic thread, or embroidery) aren't very
efficient containers for heating oil.

No. BTW, here in germany, it is against the law to drive your diesel

Firstly, add up your allocations and stack usage.
If you find they come to around 30Mb, then there's your answer.
Sometimes if you allocate a huge number of tiny structures the compiler will
pad them out to the nearest kilobyte, gobbling lots of memory.
Then look at the library functions you are calling. How much memory does
"Hello world" take on your platform? If "hello world" is small, cut the
program down to "hello world" and then gradually comment functionality back
in. That should tell you where the memory is going.

If it's a pig of a compiler it ought to be able to chomp up pies quite
nicely.

I think I read that after several years, the computer calculated that 42

The computer (*Deep Thought*) that had calculated the answer had
warned its creators that his answer would not please them,
because they were not really aware of the question.
But he had already constructed a massively greater, faster,
better computer to calculate the question to this answer.
This computer was - or is, for that matter - called:
'*The Earth*'
Us mere humans were/are/have been/will be an integral part of
the organic matrix of that computer, which, by the way, was run
by the most intelligent species on earth; no, not humans nor
dolphins, but mice. Unfortunately, shortly before the completion
of the calculation, earth was (will have been destroyed - it's
not easy to talk of the future as something from the past - look
up temporal grammar in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
destroyed to make place for an interplanetary hyperspace-
express-route by the Vogons.

The computer took 7.5 million years to compute its answer,
and it was built 17.5 million years ago.
According to Moore's Law, the same calculation could be done in
a fraction of a second today. This program is clearly repeating
Deep Thought's work, and since DT was such a great computer,
getting the same answer.
