- Bus errors result from putting an illegal address on the address bus,
- e.g. trying to access an integer on an odd byte boundary, when ints must be
- aligned on 4-byte boundaries.
-
- Segmentation violations are from using addresses outside your program's address
- space, e.g. your code stepped past the end of an array.
