Ok, this is a pagefault in the loader library. Please look at the file
l4/pkg/loader/server/src/app.c and search for APP_ADDR_LIBLOADER. Take
that address as the base for libloader.s.so. Subtract that address from
the pagefault address. The result is the offset into the loader lib. Do

  objdump -ld libloader.s.so | less

and search for the offset. Then scroll a little bit around and look
for lines of source code contained in the listing. Or simply post the
listing here.
