    Maybe you need to track where you malloc()'d and free()'d your memory. You'll probably find a descrepancy in the number of calls to each function. Remember, their should be a one-to-one relationship.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
