im solving a problem in linked list.how to check loop inside a linked list.
i ve done implentation. always it goes without any error. but sometimes it encounters
segmentation error. i dont find wny error or warning other than that.please try to help me figure out

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>

/*
 * structure for the linkedlist node

typedef struct node *ptr;
typedef ptr list;
typedef struct listnode *hcell;

struct node
{
int ele;	//element
struct node *next;//next pointer
};
/*
 * opening the file for input
 */

struct listnode
{
unsigned int lielement;
 struct listnode *nextele;

i used hashing(separate chaining ) to store and access memory address
..

but sometimes it encounters segmentation error.

On what part does the segmentation fault occur?
