Pretty much any guru between 00000000 and 0000002F is a standard
68000 exception number.  They can be looked up in a 68000 reference.

#3 and #4 are very popular.

Partial list:

03 = Address Error (doing something on an odd boundary that processor
			doesn't like)

04 = Illegal Instruction (executing random memory contents or data)

05 = Divide by zero

0A = Line 1010 (executing instruction starting with $A)

0B = Line 1111 (executing instruction starting with $F)

[]

2D = TRAP #13 instruction executed (could be caused by executing
	random memory or data)
