Re: malloc: top chunk is corrupt

[Justin Ossevoort]

h,

FOUND IT!!! Can't believe it!

I had already read the manual on it. With new the motivation that you
gavxve me that the bug is really in my code I did another pass of
extensive debugging. Finally found it, it was hidden in the amount I memmove'ed
appears I went agains my own coding standards... see what happened (wasted
days on this bug) code is now happy and running. (Had numerous programmers
look at it and none saw through it).

Thanx you guys, I know how annoying it can be to have somebody ask a
question which ends up as a dumb one. Never guessed I needed some :-)

regards,

        justin....
