I'm glad you didn't see it either, so I'm not looking too dumb:-) The error was only triggered if malloc returned NULL, which is the reason, why calloc seemed to work for others. > That worked for me all the years with all the programs I wrote.

Initialized data is no longer initialized correctly if the program runs the second time. That may or may not cause trouble. Making the program unrunable needs code and I don't see a reason to place this penalty on all programs. If you prefer not to be able to run your program again, you may choose to terminate your program by jumping to the coldstart vector or whatever. This is what most games do.
