I have seen other Linux commands other than PMC causes jumps as well.

It is based on the Intel sample project:

Weird.  That is really, truly broken.

You didn't mention the FPGA/IP core you are using.  I'm willing to bet the bug 
is in there.

[ No need to embarrass anyone.  So many buggy IP Cores in this world.
  It could make someone cry.  But not me, I'm used to it by now :( ]
