Solution:

A segmentation fault is caused by memory misuse.  Your program is attempting I/O on an area of memory it is not permitted to access.

This can have many causes; some of the more common ones are "wild pointers" and buffer overflow  (for example, allocating n characters for a buffer, and n+1 characters are written).

You will need to re-download and install the program or recompile it from source. If the application is an OIT installed application, then send e-mail to support@oit.gatech.edu.
