I don't understand. If it doesn't make it through the first time, why would increasing the NUM_ROUNDS make a difference? The problem seems to be that the formatting function fails with ENOMEM when it tries to fill out a format of "%011000d\n", period. That should take up approximately 11,000 bytes -- well below 10MB. It returned ENOMEM on the first try.
