stumped....

Has anyone every seen a call to malloc() result in a 
seg fault?  Very confused...


(gdb) bt
#0  chunk_alloc (ar_ptr=0x4015ed60, nb=5688) at malloc.c:2814
#1  0x400c95ce in __libc_malloc (bytes=5680) at malloc.c:2696

#8  0x804aa35 in main (argc=5, argv=0xbffff974) at

The actual offending line is here......

#2  0x80a15b5 in prs_init (ps=0xbfffe940, size=5680, align=4 '\004',
io=0) at rpc_parse/parse_prs.c:83
83	if((ps->data_p = (char *)malloc((size_t)size)) == NULL) {
