Replacing one 'random' constant with a different one
doesn't seem like a proper fix.

Surely the actual bounds of the 'memory' area are properly
defined somewhere.
Or at least should come from a table.

You also need to verify that the offsets are within the mapped area.
An unexpected offset shouldn't try to access an invalid address.
