I'm positing that merely loading up 100K lines of code and the limited amount of video memory available coupled with other variables could be the issue. I'll do a dry run with the video memory switched to either a high level or auto then see how it goes.

malloc() is a C function that allocates memory. Its possible for some reason that there was a memory overflow or insufficient memory remaining to allocate the amount of memory requested.
I don't think that would be due to the Pcode. People say they run far larger files than that. So as you say, it could be graphics related

Could it be a bad stick of ram or likely not?
Regardless I'll first change it to auto, second I'll swap the ram out, and thirdly I'll reevaluate.
Thank you for the info everyone--I'll give it all a shot and see how it goes.

I think we've found the problem and it took less than a few minutes of memory testing.
All it took was adding an additional stick of ram and not realizing that it could be causing an intermittent problem--which has wasted 10+ hours of time, and resulted in me collecting another G540 to my collection.
.
Attached are screenshots of both machines with Memtest86--test your memory is my only advice at the moment for others!
