System name: w20-575-20
Type and version: RTPC-ROMPC 7.4G
Display type: apa16
What were you trying to do?
I tryed the command: help telnet, and help ftp on seperate occasions.
What's wrong:
Help returned with a message, malloc error. Use text version of help
(help -tty)
What should have happened:
A window should have come up, containing help information about telnet or ftp.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I did not have any windows or applications open except for the xterm window andthe Console window. So most of the memory should have been free. I have no clue why malloc was unable to allocate sufficient memory.
