I had taken this question off line. Annie has not yet replied to me.
I've previously received one massive data set from another customer that
consistantly produces core dumps inside the Performer 1.2 arena by way of
calls made from LoadFlt(). Using malloc debugging I was only able to narrow
it down to a sequence of pfNewGroup() and pfNodeName() wherein malloc debug
SEGV'd.
I'd be gratefull for any other Flight databases that crash the OpenFlight
loader while inside Performer functions. I've recently acquired Sentinel in
the hopes of finding the cause of this nasty problem.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi everybody,
I am looking for the limitation of the Loadflt function.
When loading more than 17 files .flt the program core dump without any
message
the stack is :
MyFunction, LoadFlt, convTree, convTree, convTree, convTree, convTree,
convTree, makeGeometry, makeGeode, pfNewGeode, pfBuffer
When all the data base is in one file everything is OK.
I can have a test program,
Any help is welcome.
