Sanity Check: Bogus(?) General Protection Fault

[Eric van Gyzen]

Can someone give me a quick sanity check?  I'm debugging a General
Protection Fault on an amd64 system.  The faulting instruction appears
to be an immediate mov into %r11...right?  I ask because I can't imagine
how that instruction could cause a GPF.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Eric
