Bash error?

[Michael Alestock]

Hi there,

     I got this strange error when I logged into my machine today...... 


-bash in malloc(): warning: recursive call
-bash: xmalloc:  cannot allocate 28 bytes (0 bytes allocated)

    Any idea as to what this means?  I did have a power outtage here lastnight 
and my machine shutdown abruptly, do to the fact that I couldn't shutdown 
before the ups died.  
     Thanks for the help....
