Does this happen with all programs or just a specific one?  If the
latter, then what does this program do?  Figuring out why the crash
occurs in your program would be a much better way of solving the
problem.

For example, where in your code is the strerror() or perror() function
called that generates the EACCES message?  What file-oriented functions
are you using before that call that might fail?  Are you testing
appropriately for their failure?  Are you using any libraries like
Allegro or GRX that have internal file-handling code which could fail? 
We need more details.  :-)
