Maybe you'd like to execute 'ulimit -c 10000' before you run the 
program that has segfaulted in your first attempt. The program will 
segfault either, but in that case provide you with a coredump of the 
process in a file called 'core'. You can inspect the core file with 
gdb; the 'backtrace' command in the debugger will guide you directly 
to the point where the program was terminated. 

HTH,
