Wierd problems with posix_memalign...

[Kimmo Fredriksson]

Hi,

I'm having troubles with posix_memalign. The following works OK:


	int	r;
	void	*p;

	r = posix_memalign( &p, 16, 65536 );
	if( r ) fprintf( stderr, "%s\n", strerror( r ));

But e.g. this fails:

	r = posix_memalign( &p, 16, 65 );
	if( r ) fprintf( stderr, "%s\n", strerror( r ));

i.e. it outputs: Invalid argument

Why? It seems that the number of bytes (the last parameter) is "invalid".
This happens with at least gcc 2.96 and gcc 3.3.1. 

My system is Linux 2.4.18 / RH8.0.
