Problem when debugging piece of code while execution works

<< < (2/3) > >>

rcoll:
Killerbot is correct, he is not allocating enough memory to **s.
Change that first allocation to from

s = (unsigned char**)malloc(MAX);

to

s = (unsigned char**)malloc(MAX * sizeof(char *));

and then run it again.

You have better eyes than I Ron and I guess you trust you instincts and not listen to me sethjackson ;).  I should of checked more carefully. 

I have made the mistake of not even allocating the space for the pointers first, or doing only the pointers and not the elements and that was the main thing I was checking.  Of course a backtrace from the debugger is usually more helpful than starting at the code just hoping the error will pop out at you.  It should of failed trying to write the 3rd test message.

Actually "Killerbot" found it first, I just expounded on it.

Cheers,
