Ok I found where the segfault occurred, and I fixed it, but I don't know 
why it is fixed. The problem is on line 152 of the load.c file.

It involves a call to close a FILE stream, *fclose(f)*. It segfaulted 
here, and when I commented this out, it seems to run fine.

Any C guys out there that know why fclose does that sometimes, The FILE 
stream f is not null. The block of code is:

     //buff is a pointer to a char *array[8192]
     f = fopen(bridge, "rb");
     if (f == NULL)
     {
	return -1;
     }
     len = fread(buff, 1, sizeof(buff), f);
     fclose(f);
