Compile your program with the -g switch, run your program again and when
the traceback appears on the screen, run: symify <your program name>.
symify will automagically show you which line of your code triggs the
sigsegv.
Then look at your code to find why the sigsegv occured (certainly a memory
problem like dereferencing a NULL pointer or going behind the bounds of an
array, etc...)
