Re: Malloc can not allocate memory

Dear Wolfram,


I am afraid to answer, I use glibc version 2.1.3-24. Is this the real
answer to my problem? At the point of failure, I try to allocate about
12KB. As to the total memory (780 MB), this is the size of arena reported
by mallinfo, thus I presume, it includes all. Here is the maps file:


08048000-08137000 r-xp 00000000 00:0a 7258352    /..../Background_iterate.exe
08137000-08199000 rw-p 000ee000 00:0a 7258352    /..../Background_iterate.exe
08199000-3f158000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0
40000000-4043a000 rw-p 0000c000 00:00 0
bfe5a000-c0000000 rwxp ffe63000 00:00 0

it was obtained few seconds before failure.

Thank you for your help,

Roman
