Hi Everyone,

I am facing some issue while using malloc on my system.
The "malloc" always fails even if I try to do malloc for 1 byte.
Did anyone faced the issue. Any kind of pointer will be very helpful.
I am getting the following error after enabling the "DEBUG".

dlmalloc.c:1656: do_check_chunk: Assertion `(char*)p >= sbrk_base' failed.
resetting ...

Following are a few debug prints:
