Generally, when you see a guru like this, it signifies that what you are
getting is a processor exception number directly.  A guru with the value 
00000003.xxxxxxxx or 0000000B.xxxxxxxx would be an Address error exception or
an F-Line Emulation exception, respectively.  (The xxxxxxxx part is the
address of the offending task).  When you see that string of zeros in front of
the error code then you have a direct, no frills CPU exception on your hands.
