Memory Fault, core Dumped (ISC 2.0.1)

Lately I have been having a nasty problem crop up, and it has become much
more blatent lately. I am running programs and all of a sudden I get
a Memory Fault, Core Dumped message. At first I thought it had to do with
not having enough memory, but I have 4 Meg. and I'm not running hardly
any processes. An example is a program I wrote (unrm, will be out in
comp.sources.unix soon) which makes some malloc() calls. If I am root,
and I attempt to allocate 524 bytes it fails. It doesn't return from the
malloc() call, it fails IN the malloc and dumps core. If I am a general
user I do not have this problem.
Can anyone out there give me some sort of clue as to what is happening?
I am running ISC 386/ix 2.0.1 w/4 MB ram, and 75Mb. hard drive. Please
e-mail and I will post if there is sufficient interest.
