For some reason, a call to sprintf() instead one of my routines (called getTempName()) hangs my PM application (using C-Set/2 from CD ROM to compile). Since sprintf() calls malloc() I decided to allocate 100 bytes before calling sprintf() (and immediately free the 100 bytes), and - sure enough - the app hung on the malloc() call. It sounds like something is getting trashed somewhere, but I don't make any calls to malloc() (I use my own home-grown routines, which I am 99% sure are correct) so it's not like the run-time is suffering from memory fragmentation. If *anyone* has any ideas what's going on, *please* let me know, since this is a "show stopper."
