- From the file bugcodes.h in the ~\private\ntos\inc directory in the NT DDK,
-
- //
- // MessageId: SYSTEM_FATAL_TRAP6
- //
- // MessageText:
- //
- // Fatal system trap - invalid opcode.
- //
- #define SYSTEM_FATAL_TRAP6 ((ULONG)0x0000F006L)
-
- In short, it's the invalid opcode exception -- int 6 -- that happens when
- you execute some bad code.
-
- As for where or why it's happening, I don't know. Never happens to me.
