i did, it's a "ldd -183(%r3), %rN" (i don't remember the target register
right now)

with -g it is pointing to the if () comparision inside the function. but
removing the up()/down() calls makes the error go away. removing the
loop and making it only operate on loop_dev[0] also makes the error go
away.
