[comp.lang.perl] Bad free

rahardj@varley.cc.umanitoba.ca (Budi Rahardjo) (05/17/91)

Every now and then I got 
"Bad free() ignored filename line 239, <PASS> line 13"
and the script continue ...

- filename is the script name
- <PASS> is filehandle that I opened at the begining and close it
  ie the script is not doing a read/write from/to <PASS> when I got
  the message.
  Line 13, is the last line of file pointed by PASS 

I can't pinpoint the error since I can't reproduce it .
- Perl 4.0 patchlevel 3 - Sun OS 4.1.1
- uses perl's malloc() if that matters.
- in the script I use 10 to 20 filehandles for dbm,text,socket, 
  large associative array (15000)

BTW, the program/script still works, but I'd like to find out
what the actual problem is. Help ...
