  Yes, this makes me even more suspitious that memcpy() on powerpc could
be at fault. The instruction (ld r9,8(r4)) is loading last 8 bytes to copy,
but in fact it should load only 3 bytes in our case because remaining 5
bytes are not in the range we specified and thus larger load can cause
page fault...
