segmentations faults have got nothing to do with your ram. MALLOC_CHECK_ is
the environment variable that decides how much of memory violation your
operating system will tolerate. It also depends on the dynamic nature of
inputs that the program is subjected to. The version of GCC or CC or G++
that you used to compile your program will also affect how soon you would
get segmentation faults. Every new version of GCC discovers hidden errors in
old programs. when MALLOC_CHECK_ is set to 0 any detected heap corruption is
silently ignored.
you could try using valgrind or gdb to get more information about the bug.
