Posting the code around where you believe it is crashing at is more
helpful than just saying "there's a bug in my code!" like some people do,
but what would be really helpful is the exact line it crashed on.
I would guess it's probably not one of the lines you posted below,
but a function called by one of these lines that is crashing.
I didn't look through it in too much detail, but I didn't see anything
horribly wrong popping out at me.
Learn to use gdb. It is your friend. It might seem like a lot of work
to learn how to use it, but it will end up costing much less time and
effort in the long run than not learning it.
