What is the value of r0? You should be able to look at the exception
bank of registers and see a value. Is it legal, does RAM/FLASH/IO
exist there etc.

The fact you are in exception handlers is not good anything. It
suggests something else has gone wrong. Have you checked your stacks
are big enough. It seems like 75% of random crashes are stack
overflows.
