It's likely it's a hardware problem; the error comes up when Torque cannot allocate memory from the operating system, which it can usually do if you have a system with more than a hundred megs of RAM and any free hard drive space.

If you're really concerned, I suggest running it in a debugger and seeing if the memory issue comes up in a consistent place.

Those aren't errors. That's just status information from the debugger.

The debugger stuff you want is found in the call stack window, in the locals window, and so forth.

Here are some sites with info on how to use the debugger:

www.cems.uvm.edu/~upe/resources/debugging/visualCDebug/
ei.cs.vt.edu/~cs1205/c_debug/intro.html - note links to next/prev page at top right of page.

Knowing how to debug is one of the most valuable skills you can have as a developer.
