How do I troubleshoot "malloc_error_break" error?
Mar 25th, 2010, 8:16pm  
running a program now that involves text-to-speech and twitter retrievals. patch works most of the time, except i get this error message, which i've never seen before. it works like this - the program grabs a tweet from the internet, breaks it into single words which are then stored as an array of strings, and then the text-to-speech reads through the array. the error message reads below. any ideas?

java(79871,0xb11ba000) malloc: *** mmap(size=536875008) failed (error code=12)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

Please, try and make more descriptive subject lines, thanks! Smiley

You get a low level error, from the C layer of Java, or perhaps of your TTS library?
Looks like you are trying to allocate (or memory-map a file of) 530MB?
