GETTING MORE FROM SIGSEGV 
For those who want to get
 more info on SIGSEGV for
 your application in Linux,
 you can use the following
 command "catchsegv".
 
 for eg: consider the program (a.c)
 main()
 {
 char *p = 0;
 *p = 'a';
 }
 
 $cc a.c
 $catchsegv a.out #produces the following output
 
 
 *** Segmentation fault
