What OS are you on? On 32-bit Linux, it should just work. On 64-bit Linux, 
there's a bug which makes it so that you don't get one. If you're on Windows 
(which I'm guessing that you're not since you're talking about segfaults 
rather than access violations), then I believe that it should just work, but 
there might be something that you have to do to get it to work (I don't use 
Windows much, so I'm not sure).
