You're allocating a buffer here of totItems bytes. An int is not a single byte so you're bound to get a memory access error when you attempt to access something outside your malloc'd memory. Try replacing this with something like unsigned int *buf = (unsigned int *) malloc(totlItems * sizeof(unsigned int));

And in fact, when allocating space for an array, calloc may be a natural choice.


     #include <stdlib.h>

     void *
     malloc(size_t size);

     void *
     calloc(size_t count, size_t size);
