It means that the program has a bug in it that caused it to write/read
from memory that it invalid.

This can happen is you try to read from free'd memory, or write to NULL
pointers, etc.....

It can also happen if a program assumes a routine uses a particular
implementation, and that implementation changes w/out an API change (say
a shared library update), the program may be doing something 'illegal'
that once worked.

In short, it's a netscape bug....
