-  did not recognise.  There are two possible reasons for this.
-  1. Your program has a bug and erroneously jumped to a non-code
-     location.  If you are running Memcheck and you just saw a
-     warning about a bad jump, it's probably your program's fault.
-  2. The instruction is legitimate but Valgrind doesn't handle it,
-     i.e. it's Valgrind's fault.  If you think this is the case or
-     you are not sure, please let us know and we'll try to fix it.
-  Either way, Valgrind will now raise a SIGILL signal which will
-  probably kill your program.
