It looks fairly close indeed.

There's a bunch of notable differences though (user-memory-access vs
wild-memory-access, the read size) but the type of memory access error
can just be due to the randomness of the memory address we try to
access, and the read 4 vs 8 could be because you're running on ARM and
I'm running on arm64?

Thanks again for looking into it

Maxime
