Re:PROC ????

Ehsan,

  We had a similar problem recently. The program would core dump when the size of a static array of structures was increased. Static variables get allocated from the stack and not the heap. If the same variables are declared globally (outside of main) or declared as pointers and memory allocated using malloc, then the memory is allocated from the data segment.

Regards,
Denny
