On my machine, two or three different programs have given me segmentation faults. The two that I remember are Enlightenment and bwBASIC. The segmentation fault in Enlightenment only happened once, and Enlightenment was removed soon thereafter. In bwBASIC, however, I was able to reproduce the fault, and figure out what I was doing that caused the segmentaion fault to happen, but I don't know why it happened. I couldn't find anything when I tried to look it up using man because /usr/man/man1/bwbasic.1.gz is a dangling symlink on my system, and I don't know how to fix it at this point. What I did that caused the segmentation fault was change a line that was causing an error, without deleting it first, then running the program. If anyone is interested, the attachment contains the contents of my search for how I caused the segmentation fault. Thanks for any help. Seneca seneca@slemish.com
