in thread Other programming language I most often use

This is a common symptom if the argument marshalling goes wrong.
Wrap C routines into a library, and link it to a C driver which calls the routines. And it executes without any problem.
But using the same library, write the required glue XS code, then link it together to create a shared module. Load the module and call the function. Coredump.

    Oooh that does sound nasty, my mistake was much nastier...
    double *result = NULL; /* oops did I null the pointer or what it pointed too? =P */

    Very sad that I spent a day of my life debugging good code because I felt the need to initialize my pointers. (That will teach me to never initialize anything in C *laugh* <--- not serious, I'm not using C any more... =)
