No, not in the case that causes the error I think.

The strange thing is that this crash happens in different places and if
you try to reproduce it by recompiling the file in which the crash
occurred, it doesn't happen anymore :( Also, the value of the instruction
pointer is invalid when the crash occurs: points to the middle of some
instruction.
