When you notice that a program crashes at random locations, it's
highly probable that it's a problem of memory corruption.

This corruption may occur when you write beyond the limits of a
variable (usually a buffer, hence "buffer overflow"). The problem may
go unnoticed at run time, until the corruption reaches an unhandled
condition or the intent to overwrite the program itself.
