The application program code sample as seen below will generate the error sometimes:
long funa(const char *pSql)
{
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
char dyn_statement[10240] = "\0";
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

strcpy(dyn_statement , pSql) ;

fprintf(stderr , "%s\n" , pSql) ;//sometimes signal 11 raised from here
}



This code sample shows the fprintf function does not use the dyn_statement variable. Sometimes the signal 11 segmentation violation will be raised with its use. The segmentation violation can be corrected by adding this line of code:
"memset(dyn_statement,0,sizeof(dyn_statement))"

to the source code before the line:
"strcpy(dyn_statement , pSql)".
