I tested the program given with VAX C V2.3-024 under VMS V4.7, without any problems. Are you sure your VMS is up to the required version? Once there was a bug in malloc() within VAXCRTL, which was fixed by the VMS V4.6 mandatory update and by VMS V4.7. Wolfgang J. Moeller, GWDG, D-3400 Goettingen, F.R.Germany | Disclaimer ...
