What do you mean by "nested segfaults"?  I'd guess it's related to nested
virtualization, e.g.: host (kvm hv) -> guest1 (kvm pr) -> guest2?  So the
segfault would have been originated in guest2?

Can you provide us with more details about how to reproduce that?

Anyway, is "XXXXXXXX" so important that it needs to be printed at all?  Can't we
just discard it and not print it?
