Sudden program crash

We have some reports that say the BLUPF90 programs always crash after an update. When the program stops with this issue, you likely see “segmentation fault” (or similar error, or, the worst, no messages). This is not a bug but caused with a system configuration. You can change the settings to avoid this problem. Please see http://nce.ads.uga.edu/wiki/doku.php?id=faq.segfault for details.
