What's a segmentation fault? Is it a geo event?, a holiday thingy, or

It does seem a rather non-descriptive error message to me. Why don't they just spit out a "something bad happened in your program" message. 

That is what MacOS does.  A picture of a bomb appears, and
"Error -2 occurred"  (I think -2 is usual for segfault.)
