I'll try and add a debug option to show the backtrace and values of
addr, sym, etc, so that we can fix the real problem.

I.e. this function shouldn't be receiving any such invalid addresses, as
the symbol lookup was done, the symbol was found to be this one, then
why it would be out of bounds at this point?!
