That's one of the possibilities. It could also be that the program
tried to access memory that has been mapped into its address space, but
it does not have appropriate access permissions for the attempted
operation, e.g. attempting to write to read-only memory.
The 'SDL Parachute Deployed' part of the message is from the Simple
Directmedia Layer library (SDL). This message is printed by cleanup
code that executes after a fatal error is encountered in any program
that uses SDL.
