Segmentation Fault: new char[12]

[atharaken@my-deja.com]

Question:

I use top to check the memory use. It does have a memory leak which I
need to fix but does Solaris have a limit on the amount of memory that
a application uses. It yes, how can that be changed.

This computer has around 2GB of RAM and this is the only app running on
this machine apart from other system daemons etc..
