Hi,

I want to use the malloc function with integers or longs pointers.
But if I use them instead of chars pointers, the program crash.

1)unsigned char *test[10];
  for(i=0;i<10;i++)test[i]=(unsigned char *)malloc(64000);

2)unsigned int (or long) *test[10];
  for(i=0;i<10;i++)test[i]=(unsigned int (or long) *)malloc(64000);

The 1) works fine. But the 2) not : I obtain "exiting duing signal 
SISEGV". What's the problem ? How much memory can we allocate ?

Thanx,
Patrick
