I need to allocate 1,545,000 bytes of memory for an array of structures.  I have enough memory, 64 Megs worth, on my i386 running 1.1.

I have tried using calloc and malloc and when I run the final app, it core dumps.

Get ready, now when I run it under xxgdb or just gbd it works!  Executes, process the data, everything!!!

So what's up?

How do I work around this problem?
