Problem with malloc

[Guest_imported]

Hi

I am encountering a problem with the mallloc stataement in my code . Though the memory usage in my program is low and the count of the memory dynamically allocated by me is close to 17K, (which is a very small memory size as compared to the max heap size), the malloc statement is returning a NULL.
Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem.

Have u checked that there is/are no other background process(es) which is/are not eating up the memory??

I don't know what Operating System or Compiler you are using, but in some 16-Bit Environments you have to use far pointers. Otherwise malloc allocates on the stack or on the heap where is only less space.
