Yes, i think that is what was actually meant there. Reading memory that is not 
assigned to any process would just return random garbage.

For that you would have to know where the program stores what. Might make more 
sense to compile the program with the elf toolchain, and run it in gdb to see 
where it crashes (yes i know, thats not your favorite option).

The address that actually caused the memory violation will also be helpful.
