In my experience, segfaults are due to a few things...
A segmentation fault occurs when a program attempts to access a memory location that it is not allowed to access, or attempts to access a memory location in a way that is not allowed (for example, attempting to write to a read-only location, or to overwrite part of the operating system).
Other reasons are due to faulty hardware, a non-sane build environment, and a few other things I cant think of right off hand...
