You'll have to look at the values of synch[0] and dummy.  My guess is that
dummy has a 0x0 value which means that your trying to access an invalid memory
location.  You'll then have to determine why it has the value 0x0 and either
resolve that or condition the read so that it is called only if dummy has a
value.
