Can you try to recover the %ecx, %edx values for the faulted frame ?
Note that %ecx is loaded from the on-stack argument.

Do you have latest CPU microcode loaded ?  Your machine is very old,
I believe this is P4 class processor, am I right ?

Sure if pcb access faults, the system is in very broken state and
since an attempt to handle the fault causes a new fault for pcb access,
it recurses and dies due to the stack overflow.
