The program tried to access memory that hadn't been allocated to it.

The programmer used C when he should have instead used a programming
language that manages memory for him :-) If you've only recently started
seeing it then either you've installed a new version of AtomicParsley
(or of some library that it uses), or the data you're processing with it
has changed in such a way that it's now exercising a buggy code path
that you were previously managing to avoid.
