Did you run Activity Monitor to see how much memory 'pd' is using?

about this being a 64 bit to 32 bit issue? Is there something else
to try? I'm at wits end with PD constantly crashing and while
competent in programming, malloc errors are definitely beyond my
scope of expertise or knowledge. Any help would be huge.
Again, I'm running PD Extended 0.41.4 on It happens every time
without variation... I've tried it on two machines, one is:
MacPro Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 2.93 GHz processor, 4 GB memory, ATI
Radeon 4870 (the apple tweaked version, not the ATI version),
BlackMagic Intensity Pro video card... and it's mac 10.5.8.
The other computer is identical, but is running on 10.5.6.
The error I get is:

FYI, you'll want to keep this on the pd-dev list. There are others
there who know more about it than me.

Hi,
I switched out the RAM and replaced the 4 GB with two 1 GB
modules. Unfortunately the same crash happen with the same malloc
error. So, not sure what that means entirely, but, unfortunately
it appears to still be an issue.

That makes sense... I'll give it a try and sort it out and see what
happens... Thanks for the insight and clarity.

A 32-bit computer can only handle 3 gigs of RAM. That's the big
deal with 64-bit computers, they handle a lot more. While your
computer is 64-bit and your OS is 64-bit, the build of Pd you are
running is 32-bit. That means that your Pd cannot use more than 3
gigs of RAM no matter how much is in the machine.
My guess is that your Pd patch wants to use more than 3gb of RAM,
then crashes. Try running Activity Monitor and seeing how much
memory 'pd' is using.
I could be wrong that this is the cuase of hte problem tho...

Okay... I'd run across this before when trying to research this
issue... Sorry to be so dull-witted about this, but does this mean
a physical reduction of my RAM itself from 4 GB to 3 GB? Or am I
missing the point and I need to do something else?
Thanks again for looking into this so quickly, I really appreciate
it, getting confirmation about all of this is really huge.

So it is not the GUI, but 'pd' itself having the issue:
pd(272,0xa03ce720) My guess is that maybe its a 32-bi/64-bit
issue. I think that a 32-bit app can only address 3 gigs of RAM.
Pd is buildable has 64-bit, but there isn't a release for Mac OS X
built as 64-bit yet.

Hmm, never seen that one. Can you reproduce it, does it happen
every time? The "org.puredata.pd.wish" part makes me think that
make its the Tcl/Tk GUI side that's crashing.
Which exact version of mac os x are you running? Which hardware?

Hi List,
I'm currently running into issues with getting PD Extended
0.41.4 to run on Leopard 10.5. If I let the software run for an
extended period of time (say, 30 minutes to a couple of hours)
PD/Gem crashes without an error report. I'm running 1920 x 1080
video playback when this happens and I've tested the programming
with both two and three layers of video running.
This is happening on a quad core Intel-Xeon Mac with 4 GB of
memory (although the same issue is happening if I cannibalize an
additional 4 GB), an ATI Radeon card and Blackmagic Intensity
for capture. While I can't get an error report from PD/Gem,
Console is giving me the following:
8/25/09 1:38:48 PM [0x0-0x18018].org.puredata.pd.wish[271]
pd(272,0xa03ce720) malloc: *** mmap(size=4149248) failed (error
code=12)
8/25/09 1:38:48 PM [0x0-0x18018].org.puredata.pd.wish[271]
*** error: can't allocate region
8/25/09 1:38:48 PM [0x0-0x18018].org.puredata.pd.wish[271]
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
8/25/09 1:38:48 PM [0x0-0x18018].org.puredata.pd.wish[271]
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
This is definitely not an area that I'm overly familiar/
confident about and would really love to have at least some sort
of idea of what could be causing this to happen. This error is
the only error I get with my programming and it's frustrating
since I can't downgrade to Leopard or run it on another
operating system. Any insight into this issue would be greatly
appreciated. I've altered my programming dramatically and
stripped it down to the bare bones and still, I have this error
occuring.
So, I suppose my question is this... is this a PD/Gem issue with
Leopard? Or something on my side that I'm just not seeing...
Any insight into this would be hugely appreciated....
Thank you,
J
