Subjectmprotect() failed: Cannot allocate memory
Date
hi,

i'm trying to debug an ugly application with ElectricFence.
in fact, on x86-64 box with 8GB ram and 16GB swap i'm getting following error:

"ElectricFence Exiting: mprotect() failed: Cannot allocate memory"

the program has been compiled with gcc-4.5, glibc-2.11.1, kernel-2.6.32.
did you ever come across such (kernel/glibc) limitations?

here's a simple testcase which triggs -ENOMEM in mprotect().

#define N 100
#include<stdlib.h>

double **bm;
int main(){
int i;
long NN = 4*N*N;
int kmax=100;

bm = (double **)malloc((time_t)NN*sizeof(double *));
for(i=0; i<NN; ++i){
bm[i] = (double*)malloc((time_t)kmax*sizeof(double));
}

for(i=0; i<NN; ++i){
free(bm[i]);
}
free(bm);
return 0;
}

thanks for any hint,

BR,
Pawel.
