The most probable cause is that the application corrupts it's memory
somehow. fopen() calls malloc() and only at that point might the actual
memory corruption manifest itself. Try to link with the "Electric Fence"
library (-lefence) to get a better idea of the error: it catches a lot
of memory errors the moment they occur instead of at a later (random) point.
