Segmentation Fault?

What is a segfault and what causes them?

Duh, found it on google. I'm a dork sometimes. Here's the answer google gave me.

Segmentation Fault:
A program crash. More precisely, this is what happens when a program tries to access resources which do not belong to it; in such a case, for security reasons the operating system immediately kills the offending program. Segfaults are almost always caused by bugs in the program.

Sounds like a science fiction movie...
