Frankly, I haven't tried the example in quite a bit. Please always use
the latest version. Could you check with objdump or gdb what's there at
0x100b868 in the code?
Did you adapt some of the addresses used in the example for use with
your platform? For example, if you're using a Versatile Express
platform, then probably ram-bases need to be adjusted. You also need to
hide the part used the NS side from the secure side in this example.
Best done by giving half (or similar) of RAM to the secure side and
adjusting the example program to give the other half to the NS side.

That is the only example currently. I'm wondering why you do not see in
the latest version? For me, it is still there at
http://svn.tudos.org/repos/oc/tudos/trunk/l4/pkg/examples/sys/vm-tz/
