malloc() problems

Post by Greyor »

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new here, so I hope this isn't a stupid question, but, here goes...

For some reason my eggdrop has been exiting recently and I didn't know why until it
stopped while I was connected via telnet, and it gave me the following error:

[11:47] *** FAILED MALLOC ./modules.c (895) (4): Cannot allocate memory
[11:47] * Memory allocation failed

I know obviously this is a problem with the memory allocation, but I was specifically wondering what I should do to fix this? I don't know whether it's a problem of compiling it wrong or what, but it is not a good thing that this is happening.

Thank you in advance for your replies.

malloc() problems (follow-up)

Just now, actually, I tried to load eggdrop, and I got this message:

unable to alloc 327680 bytes
Abort (core dumped)

Anyone know what the problem might be now?

Thanks,
Grey
