ERROR: Memory allocation error: Block too big. Count: Infinite

[Doe]

as title.

I get the (memory allocation error:block too big, Count: infinite) error every day or so, completely unpredictable, but whenever it happens i have to crash my wow to fix it. every ace mod i have bugs out and no longer works (along with some non ace mods), and when i try to log out or exit, i get an error window - but its a tiny error box with no number, just a single word. it is starting to get annoying... at first i thought it might be a bug within ace, but i continued updating and it stayed, so now im wondering if its just me or if anyone else is encountering something like this, or has heard of it?

EDIT: just got it again, and its not just mods, i cant hit escape and use the blizzard menus either.

We need an actual error message to help you. If you get an error window with "just a single word," why can't you tell us what that word actually is?

[Doe]

thats the problem. the entire error window is

Error.

Thats it. It doesnt even ask me to terminate the program, it just does it on its own when i click the single button (which is 'ok').

I have the same thing. This is what I get:

Addon\AtlasLoot\Libs\AceEvent-2.0\AceEvent-2.0.lua:369:memory allocation error:block too big

Except its not an Atlas Loot issue. If I disable atlas Loot, the error just moves down to the next Ace2 mod Im running, rinse and repeat. After this first error comes up, ever Ace2 mod breaks. I have to crash out as well to fix it.

Try the reverse process. Start with no addons. Then enable your addons one by one until the problem starts to happen.

The problem is of course not with AtlasLoot. In the error message above
"Addon\AtlasLoot\Libs\AceEvent-2.0\AceEvent-2.0.lua:369:memory allocation error:block too big"
the error is saying that the AveEvent-2.0 shared library is causing issues, and any of your Ace addons using this library can be the culprit. It is just that the copy of AceEvent-2.0 loaded by AtlasLoot happens to be used first.

I have over 80 ace addons, and get this error maybe once or twice in 5-6 hours of playing... there is no way in hell i can narrow it down by disabling one at a time, it would take a week solid...

Well you could try disabling half and if you still have the problem then disable half of those and so on...

Here's a copy of the error message I get on my bank/auction alt. I tend to get this error to pop at the mailbox which leads me to believe Postal, ArkInventory or FuBarMailFu might be involved

now that i think about it, it does seem to relate to bags, though occasionally ill get it out of the blue. arkinventory has had memory problems in the past as well. hmm

[HunterZ]

I would suggest investigating ArkInventory as the most likely suspect. It's really bad about generating megabytes worth of tables and then orphaning them as garbage, every time something in your bags changes.

I've seen this error as well, and I use the 3 addons that yegg listed, although it seems to happen more often in raids than in solo play.
