SIGBUS ==>
bus error
<processor> A fatal failure in the execution of a machine language
instruction resulting from the processor detecting an anomalous condition on its
bus. Such conditions include invalid address alignment (accessing a multi-byte
number at an odd address), accessing a physical address that does not correspond
to any device, or some other device-specific hardware error. A bus error
triggers a processor-level exception which Unix translates into a "SIGBUS"
signal which, if not caught, will terminate the current process.
