You seem to have some kind of hardware/memory problem.

Disassembly of the failing instruction from the oops:

     8b 7c 24 28               mov    0x28(%esp),%edi
     8b 85 9c 00 00 00         mov    0x9c(%ebp),%eax   <=====

Dump of the object code:

           8b 7c 24 28             mov    0x28(%esp),%edi
           8b 87 9c 00 00 00       mov    0x9c(%edi),%eax

Looks like a bit is flipped.
