It's a segmentation violation. If it happens here, as Doug says, it's probably an indication of hardware problems. A typical culprit is cache; try disabling cache from BIOS and see if it still happens (it'll be *really* slow, but at least you can figure out if you're looking in the right place). Another possibility we saw recently was a defective SCSI controller (in this case, NCR, but I don't think that's relevant). > PD Where I can search for an explanation of the signals and errors codes ? The signals are defined in /usr/include/sys/signal.h, and the errors are in /usr/include/errno.h. In each case, the description is really intended for people who already understand the system. If you need more explanations, a good book on programming is probably your best bet. There aren't many non-programming books which explain them. I go into some detail about signals in "Porting UNIX Software", but I don't mention error numbers much. Greg
