[H-GEN] malloc() causing a segfault

Hey coders,
      I'm doing some C and came across a situation where I keep getting
a segfault while proccessing a file. I traced it doen to this:
       char *tmp;
        tmp = (char *) malloc(sizeof(char) * 1025);
<SNIP>
        free(tmp);


The odd this is this code is part of a proccedure that can run a hundred
time with no problems, the exact fault occurs with the malloc and a
debugger gives "0x40065c06 in free () from /lib/libc.so.6". Personally I
have no Idea why this is happening, and it has been eating me all
morning.

If anyone coul help I would appriciate it greatly. :)


Nikolai
