I implemented a gaussian noise layer as follows
class GaussianNoise(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, stddev):
        super(GaussianNoise, self).__init__()
        self.stddev = stddev

    def forward(self, x):
        if self.training:
            noise=torch.Tensor(x.size()).normal_(0, self.stddev)
            if x.is_cuda:
                noise=noise.cuda()
            noise_var=Variable(noise)

            return x+noise_var

        return x 

A neural network including this layer starts training normally. However after about 20 iterations, the training scripts quited with segmentation fault. I tried the same neural network without this layer and there was no such issue. I got the trace from gdb:
