Recompile your program (and the contents of the libarc1.a library) with -g
switch, link it with this command line:

	gcc -g test.c -o test -larc1

then run it again from the same directory you keep its sources.  While the
message the program prints when it crashes is still on screen, type the
following words of wisdom: 

	symify test

You will see the names of the source files and the line numbers which 
caused your program to crash.  Look at those source lines and try to 
debug the reason.
