z_malloc errors in Q3A?

[crackerdaddy]

Ok, if I run a continous loop of Timedemos, Q3A will eventually (sometimes under 1 hour, sometimes a few hours) crap out with this (z_malloc- I assume it is a prob w/ memory allocatyion?) error. At first I though it was because my Geforce 2 was clocked too high, but it does it at default speed as well. Here's my setup:
Duron 600@900
Geforce 2 GTS at default running det 6.31
Windows ME
Latest non beta patch for Q3A (1.17)

This setup will run Prime 95 for days without a hiccup, and I have no problems w/ any other SW I throw at it. When I get the error only Q3A crashes, the OS is OK. So it seems like it is not a HW issue.

Anyone out there seen this or have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Graham

I recall id saying that there was a potential Memory leak in Q3A, but I thought the 1.17 patch was supposed to fix it. Perhaps it still exists!

Only thing I can suggest is to re-install it. Just a hunch, r u running mods also such as RA3. If so re-install Q3A without the mods, and see if it still happens.
