In Linux:

What is a segmentation fault? I know it crashes programs, but is that some sort of memory leak problem, or something completely unrelated? Also, how do you deal with these? Is this typically a problem with the computer set-up, or within the application itself?

Also, does this happen in other OS's as well?\

Thanks!
