This number alone doesn't really tell anything.
There should be an extra line in the log / on the console,
which contains two more 64bit numbers. Putting these into
http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/cruft/parsemce.c will decode
them and give you more idea hopefully over whats wrong.
(I really should make that tool a little friendlier ..
I'll do it soon)
