memory issue on ppc

Hi Guyz!

 

        I m working on  powerpc and new to linux . wrote a small program
where I allocate memory for 100, 1000 ,10000 bytes and memset them to zero .
when I allocate to more than 8108 bytes and memset to zero it fails . but
when I memset to any other ASCII value it passes . can u help me out as I m
stuck with it for a long time . is there any problem with the library ?

 

 

Thanks & Regards ,

Sekhar Pedamallu

Hello Sekhar,

        I m working on  powerpc and new to linux . wrote a small program where

allocate to more than 8108 bytes and memset to zero it fails . but when I

it for a long time . is there any problem with the library ?

My crystal ball is out of order right now so I would need some more
details to answer.

Please post the code and tell us on what platform and with which
kernel version, gcc version, etc. you are working.

Cheers
