What is a segmentation fault?

 

[Salem]

It usually means that your program tried to access memory which it didn't own.

The operating system then steps in to stop your program from doing any more damage, and terminates your program with a segmentation fault.

There are however many different programming errors which result in a segmentation fault.

I looked at some of the answers that google came up with on what is segmentation fault. Salem's answer was a lot more to the point and understandable than anything I read on the links I got from google (nothing against google). And I have more confidence in what I read on tek-tips than what I might read somewhere else.

However, menace212 could have come up with a better title!

Ok people enough Menace bashing...I did come up with a title, but nobody responded to. So I had to break it up... I was installing HP Openview when the segmentation fault happened. I solved it though. Thanks for the input.
