The "info registers" show that registers contain the "strange" values, for example: RBX=ffffffff80523028 RSP=ffffffff80522dc0 RIP=ffffffff8025e67c Is it normal that e.g. the instruction pointer (RIP) can have such a value? Any clue where to look why this loop happens? Just as a side note: trying to print registers using "p /x $r15" this show the content of R15, but using "p /x $rip" or "p /x $rbx" gives an "unknown register" error message.
