You need to give more information -- not everybody here is psychic!

Specifically, compile with the -g option to gcc and
run `symify' on the traceback given, like so:

symify -o error.txt myprog.exe

Now the file error.txt will give you more information about what went
wrong; it will tell you which functions were being executed at the
time of the error.  This may help you solve the problem.

If not, try turning off parts of your code bit by bit until either the
error has gone away or you have a very short piece of code which you
can post here, along with the output of symify on the error message
generated.  Armed with this information, people will be able to help
you further.
