Subject: [LCP]debugging a Segmentation fault

Hello,

I develop a monte-carlo code written in standard C. I recently decided
to "add features" to the previous stable version and now the code aborts
with a Segmentation fault. I suspect the code is executing different
parts of the code before crashing, on different runs (and therefore
crashing at different points?).  There is no core dumped either.

Can I discover which source-line caused the program to abort (or get
information about which function it was, etc.), or trap the signal
within the code and print out details -- how? 


Thanks! 

-Karthik
