Which tool would you use to track down a signal 10 (SIGBUS)?



Greetings:
I've been encountering a 'signal 10 (SIGBUS)' error off/on when I launch my program. I could recompile and wait a few moments and relaunch and all is okay ...for awhile... Then I get the signal 10 again after another relaunch. It's like a loose wire that's driving me nuts!


I'm in Development mode running from XCode 1.5 on Panther. I've trace it down to a C routine used to read an old DBF file. At least I think that's the culprit. I only get this problem during RUN, not DEBUG and Exception Handlers that I have place in don't appear to catch it.

1) What would cause a signal 10 crash? <-- a memory crash...similar to other signals like 11, etc.?
2) What tool do you recommend to find the culpret? Shark? Others? Any docs?


Thanks for the tip in advance.

Ric.

The following is what I get:
Executable “eGIS” has exited due to signal 10 (SIGBUS).
