Probably a single-bit error, as someone suggested:

  24:   8b 48 28                  mov    0x28(%eax),%ecx
  27:   85 c9                     test   %ecx,%ecx
  29:   74 62                     je     8d <_EIP+0x8d>
   0:   8b 31                     mov    (%ecx),%esi   <=====

It tests for zero and jumps around the failing instruction if that's
true.
