Almost certainly a NULL-pointer dereference in the kernel.  I thought
I had fixed a bug were unw_access_gr() was dereferencing a NULL
nat_addr some weeks ago, when I did the ptrace fixes.  It looks like
that fix perhaps fell through the cracks or I decided no fixing was
needed after all.  What kernel are you running and how easy is it to
reproduce the bug?
