[GRASSLIST:6118] s.in.ascii debug

Could anyone tell me what this error message might mean and how to debug it? I am simply trying to create a site marker from utm coordinates in a utm projected location using an ascii file of the format
  x y name

*** malloc[808]: error for object 0x357b: Pointer being reallocated was not allocated
ERROR: G_realloc: out of memory

It probably means that s.in.ascii has effectively already crashed,
i.e. its internal state has become corrupted.

If this is on MacOSX, the first thing to check is that the ASCII file
is using LF line terminators and not CR. Running "od -t c <filename>"
should show "\n" after each record, and not "\r".
