"Fatal Error: Segment Violation at 0x10" during Synthesis

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 I'm getting following error when I try to Synthesize my design. Any help to fix this will be very helpful.

This is quartus crashing.  

What OS are you using?  To resolve this you'll probably need to raise a ticket with altera via mysupport.

Hi, 

 Thanks for responding. I'm using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.   Sure. I will raise a ticket with Altera.  Thanks, Poorna
