Does anyone know what this error message is, and how I can fix it?

This means the program has crashed due to Illegal Memory Access
it could mean

1) you're running a binary that wasn't compiled on your system which
    is calling calling libraries with different APIs than what you have
    installed (or for that matter multiple versions of the lib may exist)

2) The program and are doing something bad to someone elses
   memory

i.e.


...
char test[5];
for (i=0;i<300;i++)
  test = 0;



Think of it as a loose translation of General Protection Fault
