This means that QEmu tries to access memory which was not mapped, i.e.
something like *(char*)0x0.

If you look into target-i386/translate.c, and search for CF_SINGLE_INSN,
you will probably know what I mean. Just make the if() succeed all the
time (so that only one insn is translated into one Translated Block).

BTW, PPC-assembler is not that complicated. And I think it'd be good to
squash that bug.

Hth,
