   I believe that linking MallocDebug will override your call you malloc_error.   
   Try this without linking in MallocDebug

I thank you for your suggestion.

I tried, but it seems not to be invoked still yet. The following is a very
simple test program.

------tmp1.c----------------------------------------
#import <stdlib.h>
#import <stdio.h>

void myMallocErr(int code)
{
   fprintf(stderr, "malloc error");
}

main()
{
   char *p;

   malloc_debug(32);
   malloc_error(myMallocErr);

   p = malloc(10);
   free(p);
   free(p);    // should be error!!
   exit(0);
}
---------------------------------------------------
When I compile it without '-lMallocDebug':

        %shell cc -g tmp1.c -o tmp1

No malloc error is detected. Even if I comment out 'malloc_error()'
sentence, again, no malloc error is detected.(--> malloc check routine deactiveted?)

When I compile with '-lMallocDebug':

        %shell cc -g tmp1.c -o tmp1 -lMallocDebug

the default error-message-routine is called. Even if I comment out
'malloc_error()' sentence, the result is the same.

Therefore, I think '-lMallocDebug' library is necessary when I make malloc
routine active.

But still I don't know the way how to change error-message-routine.

Any suggestion is appreciated.
