Hi,

I've got a C database CGI which I'm most of the way through writing. It was
working, but now it's not. Running a shell script version has led me to the
conclusion that i'm getting segmentation faults as the programme exits. I
was wondering if anyone knew a reason why a seg fault might occur after a
program had done everything.

The program is relatively simple, reads a 180K database file, loading about
60 or so of the lines into a linked list of records, and then spitting them
out with html formatting. It's running on a freebsd box. The seg fault is
definately relating to the exiting of the binary, as I removed the last few
lines of code which weren't important, and it still dies at the end.

Any help?

Kyle
