I am sure we have all seen access violations occur since we took ownership of our first x86 PC's. The infamous "Bluescreen", application crashes, it doesn't really matter, access violations are all over the place. For any of you that remember the good old Windows 9x days, a General Protection Fault and Invalid Page Fault are basically the same thing (and a segmentation fault too). To many people, the phrase 'access violation' is synonymous with "crash". But what exactly is an access violation?
