We're well-equipped with Mainframe machinery, but I don't have enough of 
a clue to be able to fix the problem, although I have the feeling that 
it can't be that big. It seems memory is being overwritten:

(gdb) run

So it apparently tries to read from address (%r2), which is 0x0c00a0e1, 
which is not a valid pointer, but looks very much like a little-endian 
ARM instruction to me. Unfortunately, my limited knowledge of 390 
assembler does not allow me to track this down any further.
