In fact, we already have get_reason() called by do_program_check() to retrieve the reason of the 
program check exception. Maybe it could be used to print usefull information instead of starting 
doing almost the same is another way.

Or we do as I suggested above, and we remove that get_reason() stuff. But get_reason() is also used 
by the alignment exception. So that doesn't look easy.

I don't know what the best approach is.
