Hi andrew,
You just overflowed your stack. Increase the stack size for the program by using limit/ulimit or use dynamic allocated memory.
Thanks for the quick reply. By changing the size of the stack the error goes away.
Is this one of the things which we come to know by experience? Or Is there a way to find it out from the core/code generated? This was a simple program with just a few lines. I'm wondering how difficult it would be find this sort of errors in a large program. Regards, Gowri Kumar ps : Due apologies, if it's off topic here on this mailing list.
