Note that SIGILL, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, and SIGBUS come with si_addr specifying the memory location which caused the fault. When memory fault is transformed into illegal operand failt, the location of the original memory fault is likely lost, too - you can easily check this hypothesis by installing a signal handler: if si_addr is not 0xbad from your example, then it's been lost. -- ldv
