Segmentation fault means you are referencing memory outside the
memory the program has been assigned. Possible causes:
- dereferencing a NULL pointer,
- xscanf() used without converting to a pointer
(scanf("%d", c) vs. scanf("%d", &c))
- array overrun (ie. i>array size) or underrun (ie. i<0) when
dealing with an array. Note that the C compiler doesn't check
for neither, so a program may compile with no errors, but
completely thrash the stack by overrunning an array and crash
on runtime.
Have you tried putting debugging log()'s in, as per my other reply ?

Next time start up gdb, and then set a breakpoint at the beginning
of the function. Then run the mud, and step through the code from
where it breaks.
After all, you're not giving us much to work with here.
