Hi,
     I run into a segmentation fault error with my C++ code. I used to
have such problems in Fortran when my array index was out of range or
I passed a wrong array.
     But this time it happened during memory allocation (malloc) and I
have no idea why it happened. I suppose Malloc returns a NULL if it
fails to get memory. But it seems I was wrong about this.
    Since I am not an experienced C++ programmer (I started to use C++
this month), I hope you can give me some ideas about what might
cause a NEW or MALLOC failure.
    Thanks.

    John
