Ok, so it seems that my understanding of the Code: field in the crash-message was wrong :) Anyway, the testb uses rbx as an address which has a non-canonical value. This means the the address of 'pte' is invalid. Since rax also contains a wrong address the 'parent' variable probably already contains the wrong address.
