MOL is off fetching instructions not located in RAM. Unfortunately,
the nip value does not tell you much though (looks like
garbage).

If MOL runs in debugger mode, then MOL breaks into the
debugger instead of exiting (it might be possible to
deduce what went wrong). A lot of different things could
lead to this problem though (a bug in MOL, a bug in OSX or a bug
in the linux kernel).

If this problem is reproducible, I'd like to hear about it.
