I am on a SPARC 1+.

Many times when my program dumps core, the stack address
is something like 0xfeffffoo.

The negative of such a number looks somehting like 0x80000a40.

My debugger (gdb) can not handle it and quits right there.

I am sure it is a valid address, though, since the core dump
was the result of me calling abort.  The size of the program is very
modest and probably had not done anything bad up to that point.

Is this address some sort of register-based offset?
