Dear EPW developers and users,

After the .ephmat files were written, the calculation was stop due to the following error:

Code: Select all

    Finished writing .ephmat files
*** glibc detected *** epw.x: free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x0000000004ebebf0 ***
Why? How to solve this problem?
Looking forward to your reply! Thanks!
Best regards,

Ruichun Xiao

Hello,

This kind of error occurs when you corrupt the memory processes. For example when overwriting data that glibc uses for mem managements.

You might indeed have a buffer/memory overflows.
