Ok, so it seems that my understanding of the Code: field in the
crash-message was wrong :)
Anyway, the testb uses rbx as an address which has a non-canonical
value. This means the the address of 'pte' is invalid. Since rax also
contains a wrong address the 'parent' variable probably already contains
the wrong address. Does the attached patch help?
