Dear OrangeFS developers,

I'm using the native API to write an interface to the file system.  I've
been experiencing problems with PVFS_sys_lookup.  I've pasted a couple of
call stacks below.  As I'm "stress-testing" functionality, for example the
equivalent of pvfs2-rm or pvfs2-ls, I run into these runtime memory errors.
 What I mean by stress-testing is running the program repeatedly.  Errors
occur after a few consecutive tests.  Really the only difference in my code
is I call PVFS_util_init_defaults once at the beginning and
PVFS_sys_finalize once at the end, while making multiple calls to the file
system in between (as opposed to each admintool utility calling both
functions upon each execution).  I tested initializing and finalizing each
time I access the file system, but that produced errors immediately.  Last
piece of info you need to know is that I'm calling my API functions via TCP
sockets.  But since I'm just passing ascii characters over the network and
parsing them for commands (which function to run, ie rm, ls, mkdir), I don't
see how that could be a source of error.

Anyone have an idea for a solution?  Ideas where the problem is coming from?

Thanks,
Adam
