Hi all,

I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on the segmentation fault I get from this piece of code:

int main(void)
{
MagickWandGenesis();
int var[2100000];
}

I think it is a memory problem because I dont get the error if I use "int var[2000000]". Anyway, it looks like 2000000 integer entries shouldnt take up much memory. How can I reduce the memory used by MagickWandGenesis (or better MagickCoreGenesis) and still being able to manipulate average size pictures?

Thank you.

You are exceeding the stack limit of your machine/compiler. For images that large, allocate from the heap:

• int *var;
  var2=(int *) malloc(2100000*sizeof(int));

Thank you so much magick!!

I realize this was more of a c question, and I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

Thanks again.
