[comp.unix] Bus Error

wang@m.cs.uiuc.edu (Eric Wang) (02/23/90)

I program in C under Unix 4.3 BSD on IBM RTs.  Once in a blue moon, I get
a "Bus error" when I run my program, which then crashes.  Can anybody
explain to me what a bus error is?  (As opposed to a segmentation fault,
which is so common that everybody knows what it is... :-) )

Please respond by e-mail, as I don't usually read this newsgroup.  Thanks.
