freopen failed, core dumped


Hello,

I received the following message after using a computer-intensive program (seismic unix):


freopen failed in VNDseekVNDrwslice: seek failed mode = r iopanel = 0 idim = 0 iblock = 400 ipanel = 0
Aborted (core dumped)

What means that message?

I presume that cygwin is complaining about that tool program, but this happens only with one executable called suradon, which requires a lot of resources. I just changed cygwin's heap maximum memory to 2GB with:

regtool -i set /HKLM/Software/Cygwin/heap_chunk_in_mb 1024
regtool -v list /HKLM/Software/Cygwin

but that core dumped error persists. Any idea how to solve this USING cygwin (ie. without moving to linux)?

Thanks for any pointers,

Gery


PS. Some details of my installation:
