It means a compiled program is trying to access a memory address outside of thedata space allocated for it. Typical causes include attempting to access an array with an index value greater than the size of the array or improperly setting a pointer in a program. Wen the program is compiled and the resulting executable is run, the out of range index or bad pointer can cause the segmentation fault. What program is running when the segmentation fault ioccurs? Does it cause a core dump? The core dump will contain debug information that tells you where the problem occurred and possibly let you identify the cause.
