I'm just curious cause my program keeps saying it. I use a lot of pictures, so I'm thinking it's a memory thing. But how do I fix it? |

That's a useless post if there ever was one, ecookman... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault |

QFT.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault It basically means you're touching memory not allocated to you. Stop that. |

Sounds like you are using so much memory that it tries to write over a section where it's not allowed to. |

Except that this is Turing, so chances are it's some internal error. There was another thread recently, where loading a faulty .gif file caused segmentation faults. As with most bugs -- try to isolate where in your program this fault occurs. |
