Programs run under Valgrind have their memory laid out in somewhat
different ways to normal running, this can hide/unhide seg faults.  If
everything is working properly, Valgrind should give some kind of error
message just before the seg fault happens.  If this isn't the case, do you
know what could be causing the error?
