Signals are a kind of software interrupt. This particular one is called SIGSEGV, or a segmentation violation.

It's quite common for flaky hardware to fail like this. If it always happens in the same place, it may be a software bug, in which case it would be good to know where it happens. If it happens in random places, conventional wisdom has it that your memory is probably flaky. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
