i did a google search, and found alot of conflicting answers.  some of
them seemed to indicate that the precise definition of bus error is
architecture dependent, but i find that hard to believe.

i know what a segmentation violation is.

but what exactly is a bus error?

can anyone write a hello world type program that demonstrates barfing
from a bus error?  i found some code that purported to produce a bus
error on a sparc, but it didn't barf under linux.
