I have installed a new machine (486DX4) with 16 meg of RAM for rendering purposes. On the very first rendering job I was given the following error message: Mfree error — validity check failure! ptr1=85F970, ptr2=85F96C, *ptr1=0, *ptr2=55010000 When I pressed escape (Esc) I got the following message: HEAPMGMT-heap error #: (ASCII jiberish seen here) Cheap stack dump linked in=>no dump. Aborting…. At this point I was at the DOS prompt (no cursor mind you). I tried running the machine several times in slave mode and it would come up with a similar message each time. The machine would render from 30 to 200 frames before coming up with this error. I am trying to find out if there is a problem with the machine and if so, what that problem might be. I don't want to take it back to the vendor I purchased it from until I can identify the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
