This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------_=_NextPart_001_01CB13AC.D19F6BB9 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The hdestroy function calls the free function on a generation of storage that it never allocated. It frees the pointer to the key. This can lead to unpredictable results. I can't find any evidence that the POSIX standard requires this step, and I can't find any evidence that the POSIX standard expects the hsearch function to make its own copy of the key or data items. So I believe the proper fix is to simply delete the free statement. =20 Here is the change. I generated the diff against revision 1.4, downloaded earlier today. --- hcreate.c 2010-06-24 10:39:04.000000000 -0400 +++ hcreate.c.new 2010-06-24 10:39:18.000000000 -0400 @@ -142,7 +142,6 @@ while (!SLIST_EMPTY(&htable[idx])) { ie =3D SLIST_FIRST(&htable[idx]); SLIST_REMOVE_HEAD(&htable[idx], link); - free(ie->ent.key); free(ie); } } <<hcreate.c.diff>>=20 Thanks PG -- Paul Green, Senior Technical Consultant, Stratus Technologies.
