sh breaks down

Hi,

I'm developing an application on an MCF54452 processor with an embedded linux port that uses busybox.

When executing my process I am getting this error message after some ENTER or ps or ls in shell and the system hangs up.

*** glibc detected *** -sh: free(): invalid pointer: 0x801d22b8 ***

======= Backtrace: =========

/lib/libc.so.6[0x8012fdac]

/lib/libc.so.6[0x80131252]

/lib/libc.so.6(cfree+0xa2)[0x801313a4]

-sh[0x8004eebc]

======= Memory map: ========

80000000-8007c000 r-xp 00000000 1f:0ï¿½

I remarked that when I declare a global buffer of more than 60KB the problem vanished !!!! Here is a trace of the shared memory buffers (allocated with shmget() and shmatt() ), you can see that the wrong pointer address is in the range of allocated buffers!!

Can anyone give me an explanation of that ? sh code space isn't protected from other processes ?

When I added a declaration of a global buffer of almost 60KB I remarked that the overlapping happens no more and all is ok
