well I had dmalloc (not the same as dbmalloc?) and I installed it and
linked the library to my file. Now, the error does not happen. There is no
segfault, and I hadn't changed the code what so ever. howver, if I remove
the linking in of the dmalloc lib, she fails at the same point.
Does this mean that dmalloc is handling the memory in a different way? I
am still stumped. Why would dmalloc let it run when it will segfault
without it.
Dmalloc didn't realy help me find my error because there was no error once
I used it! Any suggestions?
