Catastrophe in malloc: sbrk() error 1b
Hi ,

I am facing some problem with C++ compiler ( version 5.0 ) on AIX machine ( 4.3 version).
When i run the following compile command,

cc -v -D< CONDITIONAL COMPILATION MACROS > -I< HEADER FILES SEARCH PATH >-qlanglvl=extended -g -qnoro -qnoroconst -c test_suman.cpp

For security reasons i didnot mention the MACRO's list and HEADER file path.

It gives me the following error:

Catastrophe in malloc: sbrk() error 1b
cc: 1501-224 fatal error in /usr/ibmcxx/exe/xlCentry: signal 6 received

After preprocessing the file i could see that there were 2,40,000 ( approx ) lines of code.
When i split this file into more than one file compilation went through.
Is there any limitation on the size of the file being compiled?
When i tried dbx on the compiler ( though the compiler is not built with "-g" option :-) ) trace section shows

_exit() at 0xd017d980
exit(??) at 0xd01769a8
done(??) at 0x10007ae4
sys_exec(??, ??) at 0x10004fd4
invoke_cppcom(??) at 0x10006998
main(??, ??) at 0x10002b48

../../../../../../../src/bos/usr/ccs/lib/libcrypt/crypt.c"

When the same file is compiled with version 6 C++ compiler it works fine.
Could any one suggest me whats happening? and how do i overcome this problem?
Please let me know incase there are any compiler options i could include for the successful compilation.

Regards,
Suman

config.guess

CONFIG.GUESS(1) 						   User Commands						   CONFIG.GUESS(1)

NAME

       config.guess - guess the build system triplet

SYNOPSIS

       config.guess [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       The GNU build system distinguishes three types of machines, the `build' machine on which the compilers are run, the `host' machine on which
       the package being built will run, and, exclusively when you build a compiler, assembler etc., the `target' machine, for which the  compiler
       being built will produce code.

       This script will guess the type of the `build' machine.

       Output the configuration name of the system `config.guess' is run on.

   Operation modes:
       -h, --help
	      print this help, then exit

       -t, --time-stamp
	      print date of last modification, then exit

       -v, --version
	      print version number, then exit

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       config.guess  might  need  to  compile  and  run  C  code,  hence it needs a compiler for the `build' machine: use the environment variable
       `CC_FOR_BUILD' to specify the compiler for the build machine.  If `CC_FOR_BUILD' is not specified, `CC' will be used.  Be sure  to  specify
       `CC_FOR_BUILD' is `CC' is a cross-compiler to the `host' machine.

	 CC_FOR_BUILD	 a native C compiler, defaults to `cc'
	 CC		 a native C compiler, the previous variable is preferred

       Report bugs and patches to <config-patches@gnu.org>.
