ECLiPSe Fatal Errors

A fatal error cannot be caught by the user. When they occur, the system performs a warm restart. The following fatal errors may be generated by ECLiPSe:

*** Fatal error: Out of memory - no more swap space

The available memory (usually swap space) on the computer has been used up either by the application or some external process.

*** Fatal error: Internal error - memory corrupted

This signals an inconsistency in the system's internal data structures. The reason can be either a bug in the ECLiPSe system itself or in an external predicate provided by the user.
