I'm running g++ version 2.6.3.

My custom motif application generates a SEG FAULT on a call to
malloc(...).  I know there is plenty of memory (and it should return null
anyway it that were the problem anyway, right?).

How can a call to MALLOC seg fault?  Some table or something must be
really messed up?

Thanks,
