You have to be much more specific to get more than guesswork. Copy your project, and try to reduce it to the minimum code still showing the problem. Ideally you find the problem yourself in the course, otherwise the code is probably simple enough that you can get help here posting the code so the problem can be reproduced. Try running the program with valgrind to find many kinds of memory-related problems easier.
