What do you mean by "accordant?"
SIGSEGV is exactly what you get if you try to touch storage via a NULL
(zero) pointer. This can be shown fairly easily:
% echo 'void main(void) { *(char *)0 = 1; }' > foo.c
% cc -o foo foo.c
% ./foo
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
% echo ::status | sudo mdb core
debugging core file of foo (32-bit) from phorcys
initial argv: ./foo
threading model: native threads
status: process terminated by SIGSEGV (Segmentation Fault)
