^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It _is_ bad memory - this should be 0x115(%ebx),%al
One bit is 1 when it should be 0, and the whole thing goes down the
drain...

Good idea. :)

Not relevant in this case, IMHO. It's quite clear that 1. the pointer is
bogus and 2. it's off by one bit. So chances are 99.99% that you have bad
cache/memory.
