Hi all, Hmmm, we ran into a very nasty bug crashing in malloc(). The interesting thing is that all parameters passed to this function are ok and it happens on 2 different architectures. A NeXT and a SUN both using different versions of gcc. The only difference is that I upgraded the socials from the standard file (18KB) to the new one - 48KB big. Another fact is that if we insert a new command in the master command (Tm.) in interpreter.c list in the middle it will crash while booting, if we remove it and insert it on the end of the list it (just before the '\n') it works. I am completely lost on this bug since the debugger gives no information at all. So has anyone else encountered such a nasty, annoying thing.
