What does "Segmentation violation'' mean? []

How can I track down these pesky malloc problems? []

I just typed in this program, and it's acting strangely. Can you see anything wrong with it? []

How can I shut off the "warning: possible pointer alignment problem'' message which lint gives me for each call to malloc? []
