Close, but not quite right. It's crashing in *byte* number 1055 of
main(), not line 1055. It definitely happens inside main(), that's
still correct.

Steve: you should recompile the program with '-g', run it, and
'symify' the crash dump, to get that address (main+1055) translated
into a source line number.
