plainly said , a segmentation fault occurs when a program accesses a memory space which it is not supposed to. this is usually due to the programming wherein the programmer has not anticipated a circumstances and hasnt safeguarded his code correctly for this kind of thing. this can also be caused by the hardware (not so quite often) but i cannot give you any concrete examples so i pass that privilege to those more knowledgeable than me. ciao! -- "Programming, an artform that fights back." =============================== Anuerin G.
