What are the causes that a program can give an error "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"?

I'm compiling a program I'm writing but I getting some of this error messages executing it. I looked into gcc FAQ and gcc 2.95 manual, but I found no references to this problem.

I'm using the following version of gcc:

gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) (NetBSD nb3)

Thank you.
