Try using gdb.

You should be.

No its not.  First make sure there isn't a bug in your code.  Do this by

1) Compile and link with debugging enabled.  Add -g to command line or
better -gstabs.
gcc -gstabs -o foo.exe foo.c

2) Load your program into gdb
gdb foo.exe

3) Run the program (add any arguments after typing 'r')
r

4) Wait for the program to crash.  You should now be able to type 'bt' for a
backtrace, and to investigate what exactly went wrong by inspecting
variables.
