They're all 64 bit systems.

I already gdb'ed it.  The segfault occurs in the following location when 
I mod date->tm_year.

(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/noid/fault

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x000000000040054f in main () at fault.c:15
15        date->tm_year %= 100;

Did you compile the program with "-DBUG"?
