This is strange: the problematic address, 0x00000000016519e0, is the
address of the cache (0x1016519c0) with the 33rd bit reset.  Are you
sure you don't have some hardware problem on that machine?

Or maybe it's a GDB bug?  Or even some kernel bug?

I don't really understand what this means.  I can only suggest to run
another session with the same commands, and see if it fails in the
same way.

Thanks.
