This might not be an actual bug, may be something is wrong with my
configuration of gcc
  
  The output on executing simple c program gives segmentation fault sometimes
without any reason. The problem occurs when passing poiters to floats, or char
to a funtion. On return from the function, trying to access the values of the
floats passed in gives segmentation fault. Declaring the float variable static
before passing in the pointer resolves the segmentation fault in some cases.
 
  Anyway exactly the same code is compiling fine and running without errors
under gcc version 2.95 under a system with red-hat 8...
