recvfrom() causes segmentation fault

hi all....
i wrote a program with udp sockets..
when it reaches the function 'recvfrom()' it crashes with a core dump.
the gdb trace says the following error msg...

Core was generated by `/opt/fmp'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.
#0 0x00000055555b18e4 in recvfrom () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0
(gdb) c
The program is not being run.
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00000055555b18e4 in recvfrom () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0
#1 0x00000001200054fc in ParseExecuteCommand (sock=6) at ../src/command_mgmt.c:92
#2 0x0000000120004f30 in main (argc=1, argv=0xffffd685f8) at ../src/main.c:586

can anybody tell me when 'recvfrom()' can cause segmenation fault?????

Signal 6 is SIGABRT.

Without seeing your code, it is difficult to tell what actually is causing the core dump.

Have you allocated space for the receive buffer? Is the receive buffer length argument correct? Are you capturing the senders address and, if so, is the address structure and length of address structure arguments correct?
