Hum, so decodecode shows:
...
26: 48 85 c0 test %rax,%rax
29: 74 10 je 0x3b
2b:* 0f b7 80 ac 05 00 00 movzwl 0x5ac(%rax),%eax <--
trapping instruction
32: 66 85 c0 test %ax,%ax
...
And the register has:
RAX: f7ff880037267140 RBX: 0000000000001000 RCX: 0000000000000000
So that looks like a bitbflip the upper byte. So I'd check the hardware
first...
