Repro:

Using the following test code:

// bad_access.cc
     1  // bad_access.cc
     2  #include <stdio.h>
     3  #include <stdlib.h>
     4  
     5  int bad_acc(void){
     6    printf("in bad_acc()\n");
     7    
     8    // cause bad mem access here
     9    return *(int*)(123);
    10  }
    11  
    12  int main () {
    13    printf( "hello world\n");
    14    // bad access here
    15    bad_acc();
    16    printf("bye world\n");
    17    return 0;
    18  }

------------------------------------------

Details:

After the processed stopped on bad_access.cc:9, I used `thread return` and two
`register write pc `$pc-8`` hoping to get back to bad_access.cc:13 to restart
the exececution.

- Expected behaviour: the exception is cleared and the program restarted.
- What actually happened: exception didn't clear and the program failed to
continue. (Even though `bt` showed that we were now back to line 13).
