 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 ?
