From The Advisor- TheAdvisor AT cadvision DOT com ...

Can anybody help me figure out why I'm getting a SIGSEGV?

Okay here's a snippet of my program: ( this is in a loop to constantly get
keys from the user and store them in a linked list... )
   int ch;
   ch = readkey();
   switch(ch >> 8) {
       case KEY_ENTER: { printf("\n"); break; }
       default: { if(((ch & 0xff) >= 32) && ((ch2 & 0xff) <= 255))
 printf("%c", (ch & 0xff)); }
      }
