malloc() - Error No 12

Excellent...thanks you very mcuh for spelling it out for me..I appreciate it.

And if you link with -N, EXEC_MAGIC, if you use a large maxssiz, it will limit your heap to 2 Gb - maxssiz.

I forgot to mention that if you have some applications (Fortran) that need the larger maxssiz but your application needs the larger heap, you can use "ulimit -s 8192" to limit the stack for child processes.
