What is a segmentation fault? When I tried to run bbdate (an app that tells you the date) and wmSweet (a dock app that gets weather info for your zipcode) it says simply "Segmentation fault" What does that mean and how can I fix it? _________________ Matthew Hauck http://matthauck.blogspot.com/

It happens when a program tries to alter memory that doesn't belong to it, to put it one way. It is generally the result of program bugs.

You can find out a little more here.
