The most likely way to cause a segfault is to write to an address
not owned by the process... In C this is very easily because we sometimes
even calculate with pointers...

Got me here, but since I don't exactly know what the bug is I can
hardly explain it. I just know the symptoms and you do, too...

ROTFL. Did you have a look how M$ does internationalisation?
Have you ever seen a catalog for any Microsoft program?

because they address firms (which don't care about it very much) on
the one hand but on the other hand also users who want a stable
OS with many free programs and they DO care about.
