Its bare minimum done.
 I need to print seed. I guess I commented those lines. The use of same
seed  will reproduce the issue.
What causes Segmentation fafault

I ran gdb it shows

#0  0x009e9183 in initstate_r ()
   from /lib/tls/libc.so.6

-bash-3.00# grep initstate_r *
Binary file sim matches
simLibAdv.h:    int r= initstate_r(seed,state,64,rand_state);
-bash-3.00# 

Common problem with this function is discussed in the below forum but I have no 
idea what is causing the segmentaion fault in this function call.
