Thank you, I posted up the question. If you need any additional info I can post it. Thanks.

You haven't shown enough of your program to be certain, nor have you indicated the line on which the segmentation fault is occurring, but my best guess is that CHECK_SUPER_CODE is returning an ITEM_INDEX that is out of bounds and that you're trapping at line 11 trying to reference an element of ITEM_COUNT that is out of bounds.
