Hi folks,

I was checking the disc on my old but still functioning RiscPC.

It got near to the end of checking the disc structure but failed with the
message:- 

*** unrecoverable error in run time system: Not enough memory, malloc
failed, (heap overwritten)

I was not creating an undo file.

The nearest error messages listed in the guide are:

"Errors prevent the completion of checking"

        Lack of memory or physical disc errors prevented DiscKnight from
        finishing the checks. Examine the output for lines beginning with
        a '*' which may describe actions to perform or addition
        parameters to be given to DiscKnight on subsequent runs.

"Errors prevent completion of fixing"

        Lack of memory or physical disc errors prevented DiscKnight from
        finishing the checks. Examine the output for lines beginning with
        a '*' which may describe actions to perform or addition
        parameters to be given to DiscKnight on subsequent runs.

Neither of which quite match what I got.

The RiscPC has 143 M of memory.

Can anyone help please.
