Segmentation fault gdb

Hello everyone,

I am using the debugger from C++ and these are the message I got:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0040cc0e in malloc_consolidate (av=0x4ff3c0) at malloc.c:5169
in malloc.c

I don't know if the problem is cause i'm trying to acess an invalid memory adress, or cause the memory of the computer is over.
I don't know how to fix it, can anyone help me?

Thank you for your help.
