Segmentation Fault: new char[12]

[atharaken@my-deja.com]

This is a snippet of some code I am using. I get a Segmentation Fault
in _smalloc (malloc). It works sometimes and when a large number of
users are accessing it gives a segmentation fault.

It happens at the line:

_string = new char [_capacity];

I call this using _Init(12);
This is a protected class.


/* BEGIN CODE HERE */

bool MyClass::_Init (long size)
{
    _capacity = size;
    _string = new char [_capacity]; //Get Segmentation Fault at _smalloc
    if (!_string) {
        _capacity = _size = 0L;
        return false;
    }
    _size = 0;
    _string[0] = '\0';
    return true;
}

/*END CODE HERE */


Machine: i386
OS: Solaris 7
GCC 2.95 (Release)

Any help is appreciated

Thanks
