free(): invalid pointer: 0x000000013137f150

Hi, I am running a fortran program compiled with intel fortran and encouter this error. Could you advise me what this error means and how to solve it. Thanks!

[Arjen_Markus]

Without any source code or aeven any information about your program we can only make wild guesses, but judging from the form of the error message you quote, I'd say this happens in a C or C++ routine, not in your Fortran code.

Is there any traceback other than this mere message? What platform/OS are you using?

[tliam]

The program was run in linux. The following backtrace came along the error message. 

Thank you!

Try compiling and building your program with the option -traceback. This should enable the program to indicate where in the source code it happened.

The message is coming from the underlying runtime libraries, but the cause is quite likely to be something in your program. Memory corruption of sorts is the most probable cause but the root cause may be hard to hunt down.

There should be more compile options that you can use to check array bounds and so on.
