RE: DDD 3.3.11 (i686-apple-darwin9.1.0) gets `Bus error' signal

[Roger Mc Murtrie]

Further to my previous message, I tried running ddd with the following  
result:

:~/Downloads/ddd-3.3.11 Roger$ddd/ddd
ddd(79830) malloc: *** error for object 0xfffffe: Non-aligned pointer  
being freed
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

I'm not too familiar with gdb; but if I can find time, I'l try running  
under gdb with the recommended breakpoint to see what happens.

Regards
Roger
