It shows how far through the routine the oops happened.

In this case, the size of the "_oops" routine appears to be 0x3868 bytes, and
the oops occurred 0x16 bytes into the routine.

Note that the estimate of the routine length may be inaccurate - it's in fact
the distance between the start of the routine and the next known symbol. If
there's stuff in between that isn't globally labelled, it may screw the
estimate.
