[comp.unix.questions] Memory Fault

skilby@ucqais.uc.edu (Steven Kilby) (05/08/91)

     I have a program coded in C that will not run.  The code compiles
without problem, but when I attempt a run I receive a memory fault and
a core dump.  I tried using the symbolic debugger and received the line
'Memory Fault (11) (sig 11) at address'.  I did look up the signal and 
discovered 11 is a segmentation violation, but I am not exactly sure what
that means.  

     If someone could point me to the proper manual or attempt an explanation
I would greatly appreciate the effort.  Please respond by mail.  Thanks in
advance.
