Core Dump in called function?How to handle it gracefully from calling function

[jaganbabu]

Iam calling a function from another library.The function is coredumping due to unavailability of memory.My question is Who should handle the function gracefully?Is anyway i can handle my called function gracefully (but it cores).
or should i ask the called function owner to take handle it gracefully.because of the called function coring ..entire application crashing.

Is there anyway apart from their modification(if they dont do) can i stop crashing application?

Please answer.....

if function of other library having pointer as input parameters, maybe you must allocated this pointer before calling this function. increase size of your memory if coredump still occure
