SIGABRT on simple malloc

Hi,
I'm implementing the boyer moore algorithm and have had quite a lot of trouble with it so far. Firstly I had invalid reads, but those seem to be gone now. Now I'm getting a SIGABRT. which seems to be on the rule:
'occ = (int*) malloc(256*sizeof(int));'
part of the code:

Code:

---

int charsread, doubles, cursor, results, tlength,i;
        char * t;
        int *occ, *s;


        FILE* file = fopen(fname, "rb");
        if (file == NULL) {
                        printf("%s\n", "Unable to open file");
                        return -1;
                }
        tlength = zlength * TSIZE;
        results = 0;
        cursor = 1;
        charsread =0;
               
        t = (char*) malloc(tlength * sizeof(char));
        if(t == NULL){
                printf("%s\n", "Memory error");
                return -1;
        }
       
       
        s = (int*) malloc(zlength+1*sizeof(int));
        //alles 0 initialiseren
        for(i =0;i<zlength+1; i++){
                s[i] = 0;
        }
        occ = (int*) malloc(256*sizeof(int));
        for(i = 0; i<256;i++){
                occ[i] =-1;
        }

gdb gives:

When I let it run normally in gdb:

Now, I really have no Idea what the problem could be now... Valgrind does not detect any problems it seems (?):

Google didn't give any interesting results so far... does anyone have an idea what this could be?

Try this an see what happens:

Code:

---

s = (int*) malloc((zlength+1)*sizeof(int));

---

EDIT: thanks dino. Stupid mistake. :p

That's usually what it means. Are you freeing it as you go?

Yes.
Everything is fine now. thanks a lot.
Solved :)
