Thanks, the segmentation fault was actually for the reason you gave.

Nevertheless, I still have an error when running this program ("give up" 
but not a segfault)

        #include <iostream>
        using namespace std;

        int main()
        {
                int n = 0x7FFFFFFF;
                char *pp = new char[n];
                if ( pp != NULL ) {
                        pp[0] = 0;
                        pp[n-1] = 0;
                        cout << "OK" << endl;
                } else {
                        cout << "FAILED" << endl;
                }
        }

How do I test memory allocation with new ?
