Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash when launching a second application from the application menu, then collect the `dmesg` output described in the issue. No source file or test is named; trace the illegal-instruction and stub-syscall reports to the relevant implementation. Done means the second application launches without an illegal-instruction crash.
