This message was printed by the shell, not FoxBase.  The instance
of FoxBase (I assume), running as process 10075, memory faulted
and died.  The shell caught the memory fault signal and reported
the error to you.

It would appear that FoxBase attempted to access a bad memory location,
or overran an array, or something along those lines.
