This means there is probably an error in your program. Probably something
like addressing a string outside its bounaries. If this is the case you
could end up overwriting a pointer or address. So next time the program needs
the pointer or address, it will end up somewere in memory it is not allowed.
The operating system will not allow this and will generate the segmentation
fault, implying you addressed a memory segment wich belonged to another task.
The corefile can be used with some debuggers to find out what went wrong.
Normally you can remove this file.

To prevent this you will have to be more carefull in writing your programs.
The compiler can normally help to make extra runtime checks. To do this
you will have to enable something like boundary checks. If your using gcc
you could try the option -pedantic for strict ansi checks. There are also
quality programs like QAC to check your software for errors. Bottom line is
you need to program more carefully.

success!
