errors i get :

:( handles lack of key
    failed to execute program due to segmentation fault
:( handles invalid key length
    timed out while waiting for program to exit
:( handles invalid characters in key
    timed out while waiting for program to exit
:( handles duplicate characters in key
    timed out while waiting for program to exit
:( handles multiple duplicate characters in key
    timed out while waiting for program to exit

Maybe this link is helpful: Do YOU know how to find a seg fault?? Advice to new programmers

I've encountered that problem more than one time, too
