It's probably a bug in your routine.  However, without seeing your code,
it's hard to give any good answers.  Step through it with a debugger and
make sure that you're not trying to free the same memory more than once,
or access memory that hasn't been allocated yet.

Good luck,

Subject: malloc and free

hi

routine xyz uses malloc and free functions. it gives
accurate and correct result if called once. 

but if the function is called in a loop N number of
times then probably it gives segmentation fault.

what is the reason?  can any body guess or test code
is needed?

thanks
