    Valgrind output

    I am having a strange bug in my code that is causing a seg fault. I cant see any obvious reason why this is. I ran valgrind on the program as follows
    valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes programname

    The output I am getting is not very informative. I cant see anything wrong near the lines that it suggests. The output is as follows:

    Can anyone suggest what this might be?
    Thanks

    Without seeing actual source code, there's not much chance of saying anything.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
