work in dos, but not in linux

[rolfjf]

I made a program that compiles and run at home.
Here in the university, the same program compiles but doesn't run.
It gives a message: 'Segmentation Fault (core dumped)' and a file called dump is created.
I only use the stdio.h and stdlib.h and I have tested the libraries before, and they worked.
What happened?

Without seeing your code, I'd guess that your program is doing something screwy with dynamic memory such as free()ing a pointer twice or writing into memory you don't own (such as writing stuff beyond an allocated block).

For more, post your code. We can only really speculate without seeing it.

if you are doing some kind of paralell project make sure you are root or have the admin set the proper group id for your program.

or maybe there could be some hard-coded file names in your program that linux will choke on like a\b\c\d(dos) should be a/b/c/d(linux).

but i can only guess without seeing the source.
