Subject: malloc etc. on DEC Alpha
Status: RO


HI

I am finding in using 'malloc' family or routines[malloc, free etc.] on our DEC
alpha machines running OSF/1. whenever they are called the program gives
segmentaion fault or memory fault and aborts. The code works very fine on other
machines. These are veru eesential in many huge comp. chem programs where
memory need to allocated as needed rather than fixed arrays and i can not
change the developed code for it is pain as well as not usefull.


ANy one out there have any experience ?
