Restored or restarted?

Not a lot since I don't have access to the source code.

It seems likely that ESI has bogus values in both exception reports. The
values look more like text than a valid pointer, so it's possible some
buffer overflowed. This can happen if an insufficient memory error is not
handled properly.

Do you have VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT set to something other than the default?
