If you compiled the program with the -g option (I think it's the same
option in g++ and CC) then you can type dbx a.out which is a debugger.
Once in the debugger type where. Most times that will give you a trce of
what the program was doing when it crashed, usually you'll even get line
numbers to tell you where it died.
Compiling with the -Wall option will also help, it turns all the warnings
on.
