Hi Martin,

thank you, but i'm afraid, i haven't learnt the full lesson, yet.

All right,
i inserted the faulty instruction, and the familiar Error Message 
occurs.

   myClient| L4Re[rm]: unhandled write page fault @0 pc=7cddc


Now, objdump does not show this PC in myClient or libClient. But as 
before, the PC is found in moe.

Lesson learnt, this PC is useless for me???


Ok back to myClient.
Since i don't know the PC of *(volatile int *)0x0=0xaffedead; i search 
for the opcode and found this.

   1fdd4:       e30d3ead        movw    r3, #57005      ; 0xdead
   1fdd8:       e34a3ffe        movt    r3, #45054      ; 0xaffe

Weird again, i can't find one of this instructions in bootstrap.elf.



So still, i have no clue, how the PC in the Error Message shall lead me 
to the faulty instruction.



thanks for patience,
