Error Message - abort trap

[gijunior]

Does anyone know what 'abort trap' means?

I have a program that uses GMP's bignum libray to factorise large integers using trial division (I know its not efficient, unfortunately i need evidence ofthis).

However, when i get to a large number it runs to the loop and after a few minutes it fails and says 'abort trap'.
Is this a C problem or a unix one?

Cheers

Do you get a core file with this?
As in abort trap (core dumped)

It's a problem within your program.
Either in your code, your use of GMP or within GMP itself.
