Ok. The xz() function has been a very efective way of finding where the 
crash occured. Thanks for the tip!

Understood.

Yes, mlockall fails with consistence here within linrad, but if I do 
this simple program never fails here.

#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void main(void){

int i;
i=mlockall(MCL_CURRENT);
printf("returned value is %d \n",i);

}


It always return a 0 value and never crashes

Who knows!!  :-)

73, Ramiro.
