seg-fault1
Try to write to address zero and crash
Usage
seg-fault
Overview
seg-fault tries write to address zero and will trigger a segmentation fault (signal 11). It is useful to test the process core dump configuration. See the Linux kernel sysctl setting kernel.core_pattern and fs.suid_dumpable for more information. In case of using a bug reporting system like apport, this program allows testing reporting the crash and retracing it.
