High there.

I have a serious problem with interfacing between Ada and C. In a C
program, I allocate a lot of memory via malloc (more than one MB). When
I run the Ada program that interfaces with the C stuff, I get a
segmentation fault exactly at a point, where a subprocedure is called,
before even the first code line of this procedure is touched. My guess
is that the memory management from C and Ada do not work together when
doing big mallocs, and that some portion of my Ada program code had been
overwritten by C's mallocs.

Do you have experiences with this kind of stuff? Could you tell me if
I'm right and how to solve this ugly problem?

Thanks in advance.


Guido
