The clobbering of r31 at 0x138 causes junk values (0) to be read into Z, and icall calls address 0. 138: f4 e4 ldi r31, 0x44 ; 68 13a: ef 0e add r14, r31 13c: f1 1c adc r15, r1 13e: 32 96 adiw r30, 0x02 ; 2 140: 01 90 ld r0, Z+ 142: f0 81 ld r31, Z 144: e0 2d mov r30, r0 146: be 01 movw r22, r28 148: 6f 5f subi r22, 0xFF ; 255 14a: 7f 4f sbci r23, 0xFF ; 255 14c: d7 01 movw r26, r14 14e: 8d 91 ld r24, X+ 150: 9c 91 ld r25, X 152: 09 95 icall
