Whenever you have such a suspicion, try to validate it with a trivial
program, like:

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main()
    {
        fprintf(stdout, "hello world\n");
        return 0;
    }

Translate and execute it *exactly* the same way you're translating and
executing your application.

If you get a core dump from this program, there is something very wrong
with your compilation/execution environment. If this program works fine,
then your problem is elsewhere.

Post a *minimal*, but complete program reproducing it and we may be
able to provide additional help.
