Dear IRAF Folks,I have a user here who is running IRAF on a Linux machine--with
plenty of RAM--and he gets a repeatable error when trying to combine
several large files into an image mosaic:PANIC in `/iraf/iraf/bin.suse/x_images.e': Memory has been corrupted
Does this ring any bells, or can you advise me on how to investigate
the problem further?Thanks Much,

Oh, man! I'm a sysadmin too... But working with PPC-systems(Pay-Per-Click).
But i seen this error while my IRAF(2.13b) has been wrong installed and i used wrong architecture of binaries!
I have Gentoo 2006.1(x86) on my home-PC, but i used pre-compiled IRAF for RedHat! After re-installing to "linux" ARCH i don't seen this error nomore!

I fyou get a 'memory corrupted' error from any task (e.g. "help implot") and you're using a recent 2.6 linux kernel then you're probably seeing the 'stacksize problem' mentioned in other posts (do a Forum search on 'stacksize' from the banner bar). Otherwise, I assume you're using IMCOMBINE for this? This could be a bug in the task of some kind but we'll need more information (parameters, size of the images, IRAF and SuSE version, etc). Note that there is still a 32-bit limit in IRAF so if the final mosaic is larger than 2GB this could also be a cause.-Mike

Thanks Mike,This turned out to be the stacksize problem. Apologies for not looking at iraf.net first--I was still operating under the old NOAO paradigm and I sent mail to iraf@noao.
