Comment 16 for bug 1625805

Kevin, the oops above is just the history-daemon process that dereferences a stray pointer: i can reproduce it on every arm64 installation where i tried running the history-daemon (classic or snappy), or a test.c prg like the one below.

(here is my raspberrypi3 in arm64 mode dereferencing a foobar ptr)

$ cat test.c
int main(void) {

        ((void(*)(void))0x18)();
}

$ gcc test.c
$ ./a.out

dmesg:
...
