135Bus error
Also known as SIGBUS and is usually signal 10, occur when a process is trying to access memory that the CPU cannot physically address. In other words, the memory tried to access by the program is not a valid memory address. It’s caused due to alignment issues with the CPU (eg. trying to read a long from an address that isn’t a multiple of 4). SIGBUS is the abbreviation for ‘Bus Error’.

139Segmentation fault
Also known as SIGSEGV and is usually signal 11, occur when the program tries to write/read outside the memory allocated for it or when writing memory that can only be read. In other words when the program tries to access the memory to which it doesn’t have access. SIGSEGV is the abbreviation for ‘Segmentation Violation’.
