Right. The page fault message tells you the instruction pointer and
the page-faulting address. What I usually do in the first case
(PC=<some value not NULL>) is I try to figure out where in the program
this is using objdump. (If you are testing in Qemu, you might even try
attaching with GDB.)

In the second case (PC == 0) that won't work. This looks like someone
already performed a jmp/call to address 0. Here you will have to
figure out where things go wrong using printf()s. (Or GDB in the qemu
scenario...)

Does that help?
