Does that code actually match the call/return stack?

It is pretty much impossible to get a trap on an 0x90 byte.
I think you'd need to jump to it and then get a page fault.

So I bet that isn't the code that was actually being executed.
So either the fault address is garbage or something horrid(tm)
has happened to the page tables.
