Do you get anything useful from a "bt" command in gdb? It might help to know where the free() or delete statement is that's causing this chunk_free to fail. > This time the core file is also the same > size as the previous time: > > 137723904 Sep 27 16:40 core > > But it was reached faster (in 3 hours) than the previous time.

I don't think running out of VM would cause htdig to crash in chunk_free like this. More likely, the malloc heap is getting messed up somehow - possibly from a buffer overrun problem - but I don't know where to start looking for this. I see you're running Linux, but what distribution is it? Did you install all update packages available for the version you're running of this distribution? I know that Red Hat 7.0 had C library problems that were corrected in an update RPM. -- Gilles R.
