Your program (or some other process around) has been consuming too
much memory.  Perhaps your application has a memory hole?

Access to memory outside your application.  Best to compile everything
with `-g' and run it under control of a debugger (gdb).  When the
segfault happens, control will get over to gdb, and you can examine
all the variables of your program at this time.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
