- Newsgroups: gmane.os.cygwin
I had posted previously about a hang problem I am having.
To attempt to track down what is going on, I built the latest
cvs core code (1.3.11) with debugging on, and malloc debugging also.
When I install and run the newly built code I get thousands
of messages of the form:
/usr/local/cygwin-src/src/winsup/cygwin/dtable.cc:478: memory not allocated
This happens when I telnet in to the NT box, or ssh in. It also happens
whenever I run a command from the shell prompt. Though it is not
always at dtable.cc:478.
This appears to be coming out of dlmalloc.c. It looks like this message implies
that a block of memory is in use but the allocator does not think
it should be.
Is that the correct interpretation of this message?
