xrealloc: cannot reallocate (23523666) bytes
Hi,
I have a lengthy shell script and when I try to run it, It takes a lot of time and for about 25-30 mins and outputs this message xrealloc: cannot reallocate (23523666) bytes (0 bytes allocated). Along with this it is also displaying two other error messages. One is it is saying the (function name) command not found, even when I have the function defined with the same name. The other one says (file name) ambiguous redirect.

Thanks for your help,
Nagin.

Operating System?
Shell?
Command (or cron) used to invoke the script?
Content of the script?
Exact error messages as displayed on the screen or in (which?) error log?

I am just kicking off the scripting at the prompt by passing parameters manually.

I have a few functions defined on top of the script, some of these functions have sqlplus calls to the database and at the bottom I am calling those scripts

Not possible for me to diagnose this problem based on the information given. This is Linux not unix.
