> What does it usually mean when you get a General Protection Fault.

Often it means that you have dereferenced an invalid pointer.  When you get a
call frame traceback on screen, run symify <program name>.  Assuming you have
included debugging information in the executable, symify will add file names
and line numbers to the traceback.
