This is the telltale sign of a particular type of bug in your program:
use of uninitialized variables. Sometimes their value will be OK, at
other times, the contents will be garbage confusing the wits out of
your program.

To find out more, the type of crash and its details (the traceback,
after application of 'symify') are needed. That will show you where in
the program your crash happens, and how (floating point exception?
segfault?)
