It is not an oops. It is a debugging aid for application developers,
it's the context when the application faulted.

I don't know what you mean by "fork be running into already used memory."

When run under gdb it doesn't fault?

Use this program, it takes hex IIR values and converts them into instructions:

Be careful that some instructions decode to slightly different
variants, but the same instruction non-the-less.
