The code looks correct but the value r3 (0x38cf4) looks to be outside the
normal range for a process. A process map (cat /proc/<pid#>/maps) may be
useful.

The instruction that fails is still in the process of getting aligned to a
32-byte boundary (which is where the value in r8 and r6 (0x38d00) is
derived from. I would like to see all the gprs and a dump of the stack.

At the moment it looks like memset was passed a bad address ...
